lyrics

Teetering on the fringe of film-grade apocalypse
Pour me another around and we’ll drink ‘til we forget
The inhumanity, “what’s yours is mine, what’s mine is mine too”
Survival of the most fortunate -- The privileged few

Hang me up…

Under the street light
Paycheck to paycheck
On the side of the freeway
And back to the block

Removed my broken body from this caste
Never again will I take a risk
This game is rigged to stifle forward progress

Our hero clad in green (decorated)
Uncontended in the trenches
Dodging bullets through the maelstrom
Toe the line in the offensive
Now the empty bottle is my only motivation
But my shopping cart is almost full and it’s time for medication

I stood on the rooftop waiting for daylight, but it never shown through
I tried to pick myself up by the bootstraps, but I’ve worn out all my shoes
Digging holes in the desert to find the insight that I may never learn
Neatly engraved above my head reads “fuck all, let it burn”
