lyrics

We’re crying baby, ‘cuz the President sucks, and the Prime Minister’s fucked and all the people in high places are just feeling each other up. And they’re laughing at us ‘cuz we’re sat on our hands trying flip each other the bird. Or making foolish banter that doesn’t even matter. And spinning half-truths so fast we can’t catch them, and we don’t even try. And we don’t even care where we’re heading or what we’re hearing, and we feel very tired. And we wanna go home and go to bed, and pull up the covers over our noses. Or get away to some sweet hideaway and sleep for all our lives. But there’s nowhere to hide ‘cuz the countryside is littered with broken bottles and trashed tractors. And the polar bears are coming south, moving into town, sitting on the grass, eating trash like the rest of us. And corrupted countries dig diamonds, burn coal, wage war and make pink flamingos turn white. Why try?
Aw shit. The world has gone sideways so fast man. Everybody’s kicking dogs and throwing cats in trashcans, stepping into puddles, walking into walls, falling down the stairs. And then you die. Even lovers seem to lose faith in love. And praise evil doctrines or preach hate and shoot people in the streets or abuse power in any way to give way to rampant inequality and make claims in bad faith and all the meanness of spirit, it seems there’s a meanness in the air. And we’re trying to squeeze it out of our eyes. Why try?
