lyrics

Give away nothing
Want to be like that strong folk
Want to be so bad in my home
Fuckin’ cattle, like they’re
Nothing, nothing
Where am I at?
Where am I at now?
Where am I at now?

Induced the metaphor, now what?
All the time and the time that I spent
Like cash from the laboring cow who survives
Diagnose the mother
Now the calf dies, I lie
Want to hear everything you say

And it’s not much better on the other side
The public realm asks us to be slaves
For some to be free
And some stuck in the dirt

So many regrets when you
Talk like everyone thinks it
Run away, run away
Don’t want to call you weak
‘Cause that’s what life gave you
Hand your wallet to me,
I’ll count it for you
Choking on a prick’s green mugshot
Swear he’d stick you with a rifle
If he saw you ‘cause your parents aren’t deliberate
Call ourselves citizens to cover our secrets

And it’s not much better on the other side
The public realm asks us to be slaves
For some to be free
And some stuck in the dirt

So easy to judge from your high horse
Also easy to be and become destitute
You said we had a fool’s dream
That’s for sure
When you listen to no one,
Of course

Want to live far away,
Just get out of here
Won’t know where to buy
My gas or my beer
Want to labor for me and family
Don’t need immortality
