We know what you’re going to say
You say it every single day
You used to work for what you earned?
You think that’s something that we never heard?
But God the times have changed,
Just trying to make it our own way.
Don’t act like you’re so concerned
You’re leaning back while you watch it burn
And still you treat us like we’re kids
WHILE WE KILL YOUR BUSINESSES!
“Get a job!” That’s all you say
But we both know they just don’t pay!
We’re flipping burgers just to pay for school
Because they told us that’s what we should do
We graduated and the only jobs left
Were flipping burgers and serving up gruel
Now ain’t that cruel? God ain’t it cruel?
We black where you see white
We see wrong where you see right
If you just opened up your eyes
You wouldn’t have to act so surprised
That your time is running out
Along with all your clout
So enjoy it while it lasts
Because it looks to me you’re fading fast.
Its cray world out there
And we all know you’re just scared
So why not rest your head?
It’s getting late and you should go to bed!
And now they tell us we should buy a house
Put up a fence and raise a family too
No paid vacations, only doctors’ notes
And without insurance? That’s just fucking cruel!
God ain’t it cruel?
We’re not so different you and us
You just seem to lack some trust
Are we not the ones you raised
We’re nothing more than you gave
We both fought in all their wars
Are we really keeping score?
Spitting venom back and forth?
Was that really what its all been for?
The world is far bigger than you
And it will leave you behind soon
So go on, pick up the slack!
Because that clock it’s never turning back!

Drinking beer and popping pills,
But it’s ok because they’re Benadryl
The doctors say you shouldn’t do it
Oh but what the hell?
In twenty minutes I’ll be asleep
No need to worry about anything
Life’s so much better when there’s
nothing else to do but dream
I’ll dream the world’s a better place
I’ll dream that mom and dad will keep me safe
I’ll dream that all this wasted time,
Oh god it’s not a waste…
So just kick back it’s not hard to do
Just relax and you’ll make it through
But what the hell do I know?
It’s not like I’ve got a clue.
Now it’s ok to have a little fun
THE EARTH IS BURNING UP UNDER THE SUN!
You think the world is such a mess?
Well you’re not the only one.
You’re not the only one who sucks at life.
You’re not the only one who’s art is trite.
So grab a number and a magazine
and then just get in line!
Drinking beer
And popping pills
But its ok when they’re just
Benadryl
The doctors say
We should not do it
But what the hell, yeah?
We’ll get through it.

Have you read the news today?
We’re left to dig too many graves!
You can help or you can pray,
But do not tell me what not to say!
Was it a mad man who lost his mind?
Or just a lone wolf with too much time?
Or some cowardly piece of shit
Who couldn’t handle much more of it?
And I ask myself
Is this the new America?
I think to myself
Oh God, what happened to America?
Was it the city? Was it the State?
Or just this growing sense of hate?
Was it the tourists out there having some fun?
Where were those good guys with all their guns?
Was it the politician up on the hill,
who’d just become some corporate shill?
Was it me? Was it you?
What the Fuck are we suppose to do?
And I ask myself
Is this the new America?
I think to myself
Oh God, what happened to America?
And I ask myself
Is this the new America?
I think to myself
Oh God, what happened to America?

They've got you all locked up and won't let you out.
And it's gonna make you scream and shout.
You're all pent up with nowhere to go.
And so you're gonna let the whole world know.
You're gonna tell them things aren't so bad.
Except of course for mom and dad.
Cuz businesses need money, too!
So what else is the world to do?
But who can blame the working poor,
When plagues come and there ain't no cure?
They ain't got no job and ain't got no school.
And they're blindly being led by fools.
They're just babies sucking at the teat.
But spoiled milk ain't all that sweet.
Now fake is real and real is fake!
Pushed until our minds break!
Down. Down. It's breaking down.
So stay inside or get downtown.
Down. Down. It's breaking down.
So stay inside or get downtown.Down. Down. It's burning down.
So hit the floor and roll around.
Down. Down. It's burning down.
So hit the floor and roll around.

They will not merely give you the impression that they're having a good time. They will engage you, they will intrigue you, they will thoroughly rock your socks off. Why? Because they love you. ... more
