The urge is getting out of hand

And now....

I'ts a one horse town, where the dead will drag us down.

wake up
get up
out of bed
smashed your back
bashed your head
missed your bus
take the trolly
watch the young kids
snortin molly
you think about
your great mistakes
but your life now surely
takes the cake
all through the day
all through the night
this feels like
one big fight
bombing brings us back to basics
but could anyone ever face it
drink on monday wash on friday
watch the dried up land burns away
drown tomorrow live today
if not for you then for us anyway
station to station
every sunday
singing praises
to their wax dummy
the splintered cross
the broken star
the violent moon and the peaceful flower






"how about a drink boys"
Pass the flask
but you
won't you ask
thats not your crew
this ain't your task
use your hands
shift the dirt
do shit work
to buy pressed shirts...


Dig in the dug out
get some candy
sugar your losses
with rot and decay
grab the best seats
for Judgment day
it's on its own time
its on its way
can't think about
what you're gonna say
because
your engines shot
and your nerves are frayed
a swift sharp slap across the face
jolts you back to this dreadful place
steal your honey when they stole your money
well no point now
it's real funny
back to bed for another day
why be the coward or their slave
when you know you could make it
your own way!



stop the world to stop the meltdown
media circus
media clowns
the daily grind
and the weekly grate
pay for the meal
of the boss you hate
you keep pushin
they ain't budgin
and nobodys daring
or craving
caring.
Shove, shift, shoulder
on the station
two trains pass
to pure desolation
this city saps you
of all your fight
drowning in steel
and glass and lights
bleached colgate smiles
only deepen the void
cheaps thrills leave
the youth destroyed
play your part,
stand in line
keep dreaming of the day
when your band gets signed
all your worth
in big, bold letters,
scrawled across that
collegiate sweater
living dead
attack of the drones
wayfayers hide
your empty soul
inhale the smoke
to catch a break
living just for
living's sake


Youre frettin, youre sweatin
But did you notice you aint gettin
Youre frettin, youre sweatin
But did you notice you aint gettin ANYWHERE!
