lyrics

Whenever I go, let them pick me apart, take what they want, maybe save someone else
Burn all the rest then divy me up, toast to my memory and drink to your health

Why waste time making someone else rich?
Plugged in a cube, forever condemned
Bled dry to dust then swept away
A lifelong dream cut off at the brain stem

Paper circles from this punch card won’t fill an hourglass

Whenever I go, let them pick me apart, take what they want, maybe save someone else
Burn all the rest then divy me up, toast to my memory and drink to your health
I was small but still a part of this world
We’re so small but still a part of this world

Premastication of the truth
Propagate with no context
Media spreads in a flight of ideas
Competing for eyes, ignoring the minds

Veritas is drowning, the well is flooding too fast

I’d rather die fat, happy, poor
Than surrender to security
I’d rather die fat, happy, poor
Than buy into every shrink wrapped idea of civility
That’s not my policy

Whenever I go, let them pick me apart
