lyrics

WAY OUT

When the sun rises up
you'll be gasping for air.
Throw your arms in the sky
and ask God if he cares!
"Heard they caught you screaming at work?"
so you put that bag around your head
now you're beginning to slip
now your beginning to slip
(maybe you've always been?)

So you plotted alone
another useless insect.
Circling the drain while parading your wings
only just to drown in the end.
But oh to be the Belle of the Ball
and have your work recognized.
Some affirmation of love
'cause between the lows and the drugs
there has got to be something...something...something
to let you know you're alive!

but it's all starting to gel
what I could never figure out
I'm just a face in the crowd
just trying to talk a little loud
but this bubble is going to burst
and you know it's going to hurt
as 7 billion people go wandering and starving
wondering:
"what the fuck? What the fuck did we do to this earth?"

Oh we all go down
eating plastics for snacks
collision course with extinction
not prepared for impact
but the privileged have dreams that won't stay on the shelf
cause in the end
the only thing that ever really matters is:

yourself
