lyrics

I just left
My friend’s house
Drained in jest
Gun in blouse
Walked along
Strangled street
The neck was life
The hands concrete
And you and I
We like to play
And laugh and dance
And sing all day
There’s no one here
To tell us “no”
The world weighs down
On the turtle shell
The money god
Forgets to pray
Forever on
Bank holiday
So I turn on blink 182
And wonder what
I could’ve meant to you
I watch TV
With my family
And I check all of my website accounts
What’s another bottle in the ground another black bag in the water
Can we organize it all and have it make sense to your daughter
One more culture getting lost a letter in a bottle in the water
One more movie we could watch another century of slaughter
Another country with the bomb a little black gold in the water
But you won’t shake hands with the law until it makes sense to your daughter
Another black hole in a soul polluted city in the water
Scheme to organize a Dream to slay the nightmare for your daughter
then look around for some clean water
to slay the nightmare for your daughter
