New Song Letra

Or the pretty smile the news reporter hides
Have you felt the rumblings, haven't you been wondering?
Why everyone's wandering these sad city blocks
Beats on plastic pots in parking lots
Searching for any rhythm to carry this message
These thoughts

But I swear
I'd do anything, anything
To keep this alive
We'll survive
As long as there's nothing
To keep us satisfied

I'm not democratic, political, republican, liberal, shit no
I'm just depressed
They keep chanting, "New ideas! Forwards, onwards, upwards, progress!"
Well, when did progress turn into this?
So if you win, don't turn a blind eye
Because the face you're supporting may be just a disguise
And there are bigger things going on here
Than you or I

But I swear
I'd do anything, anything
To keep this alive
We'll survive
As long as there's nothing
To keep us satisfied

You want to believe, I know, I know
You want to believe that eventually someone else will show, I know
Well, here we are standing amidst tiny shards from a broken plate
And I'm not sure how we let it slip so we just watch it scratch our feet
Discontentment breeds rebellion and rebellion is what we need
Rebellion is what we, rebellion is what we need
If we're ever to be happy
I want to be happy

But instead of taking action, we're all twiddling our thumbs
And waiting and waiting and
