lyrics

Your fancy love life, 2 kids and a wife

Reality calls but you walk into walls

Fight in a zone in crowds or alone

Your Jesus in rags and books in a bag



A morning of bliss betrayed by a kiss

Fiction and fame a ridiculous game

Federal dues and political views

Making you strange for pieces of change



I heard what you say, you’re young and you’re gay

There’s plenty of time and justice is blind

Let’s say it on four, it’s a beautiful war

It’s all in my head man irony’s dead



She’s been a good friend but everything ends

Farewell to the girl and our black and white world

Say a prayer for the hags wrapped in American flags

It’s a crime, it’s a shame, it’s a dirty damn game.

——

Another day comes another idiot runs

The camera please takes government cheese

Seven o’clock paper scissors and rocks

It’s fair and it’s square a perpetual stare



Like that like this Straight in the abyss

Inside Everyday pick up your phone and play

Indeed Everyone trigger finger on the gun

Independent Everything another round let’s drink



On the road there are signs for miles and miles

Mister Gorbachev tear down that wall

The wind it blows and it nods and it knows

In the space between you’re a sight to see



You struggle and strive and you dream you’re alive

The sinners and saints eating off paper plates

But all of this talk bout rinos and hawks

Will straighten you’re hair and ruin you’re prayers



Another idea another pop song

Maybe I’m right I’m probably wrong
