Throwing out a thousand songs, just to craft the perfect one
A manifesto for our age but I got old and forgot what I meant to say
Like certain truths, I love humanity like you,
It's just the people in this room
Make me question that one too, myself included
A cartoon, baby let me embarrass you saying things like
"We're complicit in the war crimes in Yemen, don't you see!?"
This is it, the futures surely looking bleak
So baby ride it out with me
Woke austerity and then we'll diе
"Ah, the politics of love"
Then you said somеthing like "oh my god, you've figured it all out
Up alone in your tower, but a smirk ain't a smile"
And then I said, something dumb like
"That thought alone could curdle my blood"
You took 29 laps, then I just jumped out
Stories of finding truth,
Wearing Givenchy tracksuits into an ayahuasca hut
And right on cue a drum fill starts to cut
To some "hey ho!" banjo charlatans who score the lives of yoga moms
And ads for Celebrex that I could use
Yes it's true, I love Russian authors too
"But which books do you like,
The ones where it was cold and they all died?"
Robocop, this ornery world view took me years to cultivate and cull
So come and smash it all with just one look
As you stick in the knife
And then you said something like
"Oh my god, you've figured it all out
Up alone in your tower, but a smirk ain't a smile"
And then I said, something dumb like
The thought alone, could curdle my blood
You took 29 laps, then I just jumped out
Well I don't know if it's enough to just say "fuck it"
Shut the doors, kill the lights, put down the phone you love
You came and took one look and said "your maudlin days are done
So you'd better learn to suffer
All we get is one another and then you die"
Well I don't know if it's enough to just say "fuck it"
Shut the doors, kill the lights, put down the phone you love
You came and took one look and said "your maudlin days are done
So you'd better learn to suffer
All we get is one another and then you die"
Well I don't know if it's enough to just say "fuck it"
Shut the doors, kill the lights, put down the phone you love
You came and took one look and said "your maudlin days are done
So you'd better learn to suffer
All we get is one another and then you die"
Well I don't know if it's enough to just say "fuck it"
Shut the doors, kill the lights, put down the phone you love
You came and took one look and said "your maudlin days are done
So you'd better learn to suffer
All we get is one another and then you die"
