lyrics

I’m finding out more and more every day every god damn day 

That trusting people is like crumpling up money 

And throwing it away 

The things they do and the things they say 

Often contradict with the seraphic character 

They traipse around on display 

Now I’m not asking that people go out of their way to change their tune 

God no! 

They’re born from scoundrels suckers whores and thieving raccoons 

The distortion’s so deep that I’m convinced not a one of us is immune 

But with a bit of luck a raging meteor will crash into the planet soon 


And all you are to me is a joke that no one gets 

Would you give it a rest? I’m not impressed 

And all these sentient beings they’re ill-conceived at best 

It’s so grotesque you’re a perfect mess 


So while you sat idly as your time just passes you by 

You’ve taken to criticizing others’ lives because you refuse to try 

It’s kinda pathetic what makes you tick what makes you thrive 

That your measure of prosperity 
must be in direct competition with mine 
Climb up the ladder out the bottle 
and meet the good old boys at the top 

Raise the stakes higher fuel the fire 
and start a landslide that can’t be stopped 

Meanwhile the infantry scatters dreams are shattered and we’ve paid off all the cops 

To fight the wrong fights your god isn’t right 
black and red to the last drop 

And all our hopes and dreams are shattering at best 

So we settle for less that’s as good as it gets 

So I guess we’ll say “we should be lucky to be this blessed” 

I gotta confess it’s a perfect mess
