Curb 02:32
I’ve been trying hard to mask my sadness But it won't stop until we grow out of Clinging onto comfort At the cost of all our relatives And our spineless representatives Swimming in their golden skeletons And maybe we can fight our way out But we don't care how many people die Just as long as the stocks go up And we don't care how many people drown Cause we’re still drinking from our golden cup It ain’t about what you wanted Or what you think you deserve Cause we’re gonna spit you out and Toss you to the curb Long has the suture been sewn up But now it’s time for us to rip out all Of the lies that we’ve been growing And it aint what we’ve been promised it’s Just the cost of what they’re selling Could ya give me one shred of evidence To show me we can fight our way out And the loss of our humanity Makes the bosses wanna show their teeth They’re grinning in rotten ecstasy And surely we can fight our way out But we don't care how many people die Just as long as the stocks go up And we don't care how many people drown Cause we’re still drinking from our golden cup It ain’t about what you wanted Or what you think you deserve Cause we’re gonna spit you out and Toss you to the curb

Oh I’m sick Sicker than I used to be And there’s fire where there’s smoke to see And I don't look great I got pills Lining up my dresser drawers My head aches and my body’s sore But I’m still awake Cause I can Watch television from my computer Tell myself that I’m a straight shooter And feel sorry for myself all day Cause you know that it’s so easy Float down the river, lost in the stream Wishing it all would just go away I’m just one Red-blooded American Swimming round in this game of sin But do I have to play? And I’m here Putting in the time I guess Running hard and losing rest It’s hard to say goodnight Cause I can Watch television from my computer Tell myself that I’m a straight shooter And feel sorry for myself all day Cause you know that it’s so easy Float down the river, lost in the stream Wishing it all would just go away Rain is coming down hard Our boots stuck in the mud Hands to be covered in blood Well what’s it gonna take? Out of time Swimming in our summer sweat Gotta try and we ain’t started yet Cause ain’t it sad? We’re all fucked Rainforest is coming down Trying not to be the first to drown Cause it’s too late Cause we can Watch television from our computers Tell ourselves we’re all straight shooters And feel sorry for ourselves all day Cause you know that it’s so easy Float down the river, lost in the stream Wishing it all would just go away And soon it all will just go away

They put the pink slip on my white truck Not sure if I’m gonna have enough cause When you put the coins in the meter Nothing comes out the other side I spent twelve hours at the grocery store They said they weren’t gonna pay me more Well making a living makes no sense When the well is running dry I put the black pen to the white page When am I ever gonna act my age? And I’ve done a whole lot of drinking The world’s split open wide 50k and armed to the teeth But don’t you know that we’ve got mouths to feed? What do you know about abolition? Have you ever fucking tried? And I don’t wanna be a pawn I don’t wanna be a pawn I don't’ wanna be a pawn anymore And I don’t wanna be a pawn I don’t wanna be a pawn I don't’ wanna be a pawn anymore They put the pink slip on my white truck Not sure if I’m gonna have enough cause When you put the coins in the meter Nothing comes out the other side I said nothing comes out the other side And I don’t wanna be a pawn I don’t wanna be a pawn I don't wanna be a pawn anymore And I don’t wanna be a pawn I don’t wanna be a pawn I don't wanna be a pawn anymore And I don’t wanna be a pawn I don’t wanna be a pawn I don't wanna be a pawn anymore And I don’t wanna be a pawn I don’t wanna be a pawn I don't wanna be a pawn anymore

Checks 03:23
You’d think we jumped out of the ooze Already wearing our wristwatches The moon controls the time of the tide You know it’s never stopping From womb to work And work to sleep From time to time And week to week Let’s use our welfare checks to Play the lottery Use the winnings for our new Frontal Lobotomies We all catch ourselves in the act Of gasping up for air Our inhibitions fall like bricks Down the tall and narrow stairs From womb to work And work to sleep From time to time And week to week Yeah! Let’s use our welfare checks to Play the lottery Use the winnings for our new Frontal lobotomies Try to forget the trouble of the Working people’s blues Get too drunk and watch the evening news If you wake up in the morning And you don’t like the person you are Don’t like the person you are Well that’s alright baby You can just change On your nights or your weekends or you next cigarette break Oh yeah? Well you know what we’re gonna do You know what we’re all gonna do? Let’s use our welfare checks to Play the lottery Use the winnings for our new Frontal lobotomies Try to forget the trouble of the Working people’s blues Get too drunk and watch the evening news

Stoplight 01:49
You ask me what time is it in Florida What if I told you I don’t know? We’re always waiting for the weekend Get drunk and let it all go We’re trying hard to get it all right All the right exits to take But it’s a crash course in forgiveness And I make a lot of mistakes And every time you drive through my town You send a picture of the light But do you ever pass up the yellow And make it home sooner tonight? Well your town has so many stop signs A chance to pause see where you’ve gone I tend to move a little faster Cause my town only has the one

Stones 03:41
All of the polished stones Skip across the river just fine But down in the undertow I’m gonna see some old friends of mine In the hardest soil Rainfall takes some time to sink in And even the tallest pines Bend hard with the Northern wind And sometimes the most Adventurous tales Take a long time to begin All the problems that got my number We’re gonna send ‘em off Falls with the rain and the thunder Over my rooftop And I know we’ve all been told Ya gotta stick with your five year plan Cause your ship’s already sailed And got grounded on drier lands Waiting for a stronger wind To get you back to where you wish you had started And sometimes the weight of the world Leaves you broke and broken hearted And I know it hurts I’ve been there too It takes a long time To get started All the problems that got my number We’re gonna send ‘em off Falls with the rain and the thunder Over my rooftop I get the feeling I can’t do this alone And I’m building my own road Stone by stone
