lyrics

These days I get to lay in bed
Do nothing degenerate
Are the best days of my life
Only because the others
Are always so full of
Hatred and spite
For the boss, for the man
For anyone who tries to tell me
What I cannot or can do
With my time or with my life,
And any body
Who tries to do the same shit to you

Because the only thing working for us
Is us working together
There’s so many more of us than them
They’re light as a feather
We’ve just gotta get everyone
On the same page
And it’ll all
Get better

I’ve gotta get out in those streets,
But I’m trapped beneath these sheets
And there’s only one way out that I can see
When the people thinking that it’s fine
‘Cause everything is cheap to them
See that none of us are free

And that the only thing working for us
Is us working together
There’s so many more of us than them
They’re light as a feather
We’ve just gotta get everyone
On the same page
And it’ll all
Get better

I’m trying to calm these shakes, trying to calm these shakes
So I can get out of this bed
‘Cause while I’m sitting here and quivering, I can’t get up and deliver
My boot to a neck
So while I wait for the rest to wake, I’ll pack up a bowl, sit here and get baked
So I can get out of my head
‘Cause while I’m sitting here and shivering, I can’t reach for the gun’s trigger
And we all know it’s easier said
Than done

We are containers for souls and our eyes
Others would rather us just be disguises
We are containers for souls and our eyes
Others would rather us just be disguises
We are containers for souls and our eyes
Others would rather us just be disguises
We are containers for souls and our eyes
Others would rather us just be disguises

We are containers for souls and our eyes
I know what I’ve seen, and frankly, I don’t like it
I hear the horseman of war trotting nigh
Screams of the innocent ring on horizons
As if they didn’t right now in the night
They try to push us towards comforting silence
I told myself that my Nois would change lives
Vacationing from, resorting to violence
When the world gets colder, we’ve gotta keep each other warm
When the world gets rough, we’ve gotta keep each other from harm
When the world forgets trust, we have to hold up the front lines
The same way that we hold our souls and our eyes

the only thing working for us
Is us working together
There’s so many more of us than them
They’re light as a feather
We’ve just gotta get everyone
On the same page
And it’ll all
Get better
