lyrics

There's this sense permeating my town
That of our inevitable doom that's soon to come around
We're just some livestock being led to the slaughter
Two more fucking years until we slip into water

I'm crazy bout you and you take my breath away
And you know it's hard honey to sing about these things without sounding so fucking cliche
But there's something about you in the morning light that makes me feel quite alright
Knowing we'll be smoking away the day, and I got no complaints


I don't want anybody to fault me
For acting my age just crumbling under the strain
Down on the coast I learned the most from
those you'd expect to know the least


Y'all know Yang could bring about real change
That's why you don't want him on that bullshit stage
More politicians to muck things up
Cause we all know they don't really give a fuck
And all their policies they suck!

Billionaires shouldn't exist but millionaires are just very rich,, okay...
And every single fucking guy will try to convince you of his lies
They're all just selling off shit to make inapposite profit but dirty money's just money to dirty men
And I'm tired of working the old 9-5 but its do or die, but if I do then I'll be dead,, in the head,, probably fill that fucking head with lead


Abu al Baghdadi cut down in the desert
Terrorist or no its clear we derive pleasure from blood
Up in New Hampshire I learned the answer
But then forgot it after drinking my weight


You can't afford your life so you gotta work until you die
And two minimum wage jobs won't be enough
Unless you skimp and you save content being a corporate slave
Just shoveling those products out the door
Just embrace your destiny on the lower tier of peasantry
This life is only temporary don't waste it living helplessly
Amid their lies lie a billion battle cries
Just shout shout shout and drown em out
Remove their influence they'll run about
Like chickens with their heads lopped off they'll soon bleed out without a doubt we're free

I thought my life was ending but it was merely beginning
And now I have so much to lose and have lost so much already
All the things I had to say to him all the things I have to say to you
I would tell you every second yet it still would not feel adequate
