One Of Them Years
Well sit atop a mountain Listen with a soup can In the south he's not a liar Just the leader of a bad band That in Europe get together and in secret praise the people My grandad fought in the lowlands At the Scheldt got shot to pieces So they could rehash their allegiance to a national convenience That preys on easy difference You know fear it's just a weakness And yeah, it's been one of them years The poor they're there to pity But only from a distance Pull on your tender heart strings The price of an every day existence Emma Lazarus was wrong Fuck your teeming huddled parasitics Somehow kids from Nicaragua well they're invading West Virginia Maybe they're looking for Ollie North Maybe what you got you get it in you I seem to remember things that mattered That no longer count as anything And yeah, it's been one of them years Oh the sea ain't really rising, baby Letras de cancionesYou're just getting shorter Never mind the science Them vaccinations cause dysphoria And them pictures of the planet Are doctored so it looks like a place akin to heaven But only from a distance Nobody likes your headscarf but they wear masks in the resistance Either way forget the answers since we've perfected pointing fingers And yeah, it's been one of them years You can only fool the people The other half the time we're sleeping So that's pretty much the bag And bag men never want for reasons So drinks are on the house cause the house always wins And baby you know that I've wasted a lot of time A lot of time just thinking When thinking's overrated compared to reactionary blinking So I'm just sitting here reflecting on the things I could've done And yeah, it's been one of them years Sit atop a mountain Listen with a soup can For a distant whistle Buy a dog so he can And yeah, it's been one of them years From Letras Mania
