lyrics
You tell your lips to make a sound
to spin our heads all around
Don’t you think it’s too easy
When you get it for free?
You tell yourself you take a stand
You say I’m only half a man
but I just take it easy
I’d rather be me
We live in a world of political scientists
They can have the moral high ground - I just want to live
Do you ever get the feeling that things are just a little off
Like we walked into a nightmare and we just can’t get enough of this stuff
They’d never buy into love
they just want us to buy guns
there’s a whole lot of talk about how weak we are
but the young never hate the young
they don’t try to steal the world for their own
they just want to survive
We live in a world of political scientists
They can have the moral high ground - I just want to live
Do you ever get the feeling that things are just a little off
Like we walked into a nightmare and we just can’t get enough of this stuff
I don’t know what we should do
should we run off into the woods
should we stop paying our taxes
should we write a strongly worded letter
to ourselves from our past selves and say
just burn away
like a twisted post card from the end
