Now it's possible for you to live with this defect for the rest of your life without developing a problem. Or even if you do, many people continue to live normal lives.

If you change your name From black back to blue, then maybe I'd come back to you But if you stay the same So vain to do, then what they say is true It's such a shame To claim as no surprise She's lovely, she's ugly She's 3 4 1 4 2 5's (It's always such a thrill) Someday I'll get to the end of the treadmill (It's always so fulfilled) Now I just can't quit till I die or I get killed If the day-to-day becomes much too mundane It only takes one plane to permanently change the game So hold every note you can How can you say you're a rebel? You're following a masterplan

How are you ever gonna have unless you take from someone who has? You never made a dollar on your own You're only passing that cash If we communicate, then can we soon escape You think you've made your mark But it's not too dark for me to just illuminate (I bet you can but you won't) Cause I don't give a shit about anything One man one hand-written note Cause I don't give a shit about anything How are you ever going mad unless you've got some power to grab? You're never really giving it your all You're always standing on someone's back Your golden goal is gone Your soul is holding on (I think your days are done) You may say I'm not a dreamer but I'm not the only one Because you'll never escape from the Uptown Diner I bet you never get to sing your song I know I'll never escape from the Uptown Diner I bet you never get to sing your song

There was so much That you didn't know Before you changed your mind And closed up inside My default friends Are stealing the show Leaving me chained in pride And insane inside What good is dignity? What fun is honesty? If you never care to point the blame? Lord knows Kevin will aim I'm sold on where I need to be 10,000 miles from home How could you sleep on me? Not holding on And not holding off Still has a place and time But is it your place or mine? Faking you out And reeling you in Seems like a faceless crime When you waste your spine Don't give it all away Leave something more to say Come clean or hide It's all the same Lord knows Kevin will aim

You can't bring rain to the plain but you give 'em hail You can't bring sight to the blind but you give 'em braille And I know that you're fine I'm already ready to leave you behind When it's showtime, and it's no time I know mom and dad are never gonna get back together Mom and dad are never gonna get back together Mom and dad are never gonna get back together Is that so wrong? (Getting paid to play along) You're just a socialist stripper in Oregon (Giving a show to the whole room for next to nothin') A socialist stripper in Oregon (Giving a show to the whole room with next to nothin' on) You tried to provide and abide by a golden rule Then why get surprised when a child wanna die (And he shoots the school) I know that you know, that you're fine You're got more money than all of us Columbined Mom and dad are never gonna get back together Tom and Brad, Nicole and Katie, Angie and Jennifer Prom and graduation then gone in September It's just one shot (Whether you like it or not) You don't wish you were dead you just wish you were dying To justify why you stopped trying Work and play is all the same in hell, in hell They got seat-belts and condoms for motherless kids Who won't ever know what togetherness is The means to keep us safe just keep us separate from ourselves

Forever keep nicotine mounting in your heart The Of Forever keep nicotine mounting in your heart

Scripted existence is the aim of the powerful lately They're setting the stage (In the moderate age) The distance from freedom down to slavery Is all just about the minimum wage (I'm still just a rat in a cage) One occupation is a crime in the eyes of the state The other is green (If you're keeping it clean) But when you hold the key to every golden mean It's hostile to be a machine (Capitalist girlfriend) I can't get down unless I'm up to somethin' (Capitalist girlfriend) Season's over and we're just one month in (Capitalist girlfriend) Top of the world will make you feel like jumpin' off again My educators always told me to follow my dreams So I blew up a mall (And Lambeau Field and Carnegie Hall) Sympathy for bin Laden's more than not enough If you haven't the gall G as in jihad's got your god in Guantanamo Bay That's why he's never been seen (Except by the king and the queen) But when you own the scene, so safe and so serene It's hostile to be a machine (Capitalist girlfriend) Tens of millions of a hundred thousand (Capitalist girlfriend) Digging pennies from an endless fountain (Capitalist girlfriend) Who gets rich and who will end up drownin' in that swim? Hands behind your back my friend It's partial martial law again I know you wanna have your say But it's martial law and it's here to stay

You know I'll never be rich unless I win over idiots I'll never be cool unless I win over pricks I'll never be real if I don't tell you the truth And the truth is, I'll always be full of shit I guess the winners will win Now I got freedom of speech unless I say "Kill the President" Got freedom to choose working or starving to death I got freedom to feel like I'm not being used And I don't expect to be told when they know that there ain't nothing left I guess the winners will win The pace is set by thieves and businessmen I guess the winners will win The pace is set by thieves and businessmen I guess the winners will win You don't get sad, you just give in Because the winners will win

All I want and all I need is total trust and complete control Or at least a guarantee the Vikings will win the Super Bowl Now the paths are pointless on potential maps When every dynasty can still collapse And I cannot help you if you feel betrayed You knew the odds, and yet you still played All the thoughts you ever had will be heard someday by everyone So clear your mind and kill your dad And kill yourself when policemen come Someone's not getting away with it this time Someone's not getting away with it all All around the atmosphere we're overpowered by common sense Ideal dreams that once were clear were ego and overconfidence But you don't care about the Vikings And I don't care about your feelings You wanna go back to mountain biking But I really truly only miss the drug dealing Someone's not getting away with it this time And no one now knows none not getting at all Someone's not getting away with it this time And nothing you do can stop you from taking the fall Hope you're having a ball Many many people continue to live normal lives (Many many people continue to live normal lives) All along secretly sittin' and wishin' That maybe Alderaan was simply simple divison Many many people continue to live normal lives (Many many people continue to live normal lives) No more time to say I'm patiently waitin' When every sudden sign is moving station to station Many many people continue to live normal lives (Many many people continue to live normal lives) Paralyzed but on a stairway to heaven Now are my lucky numbers really 9 or 11? Many many people continue to live normal lives (Many many people continue to live normal lives) Can't you see all the attention I'm givin'? Now won't you have my children Mrs. Chelsea McGibbon?

about

One year and one day in the making, this was tracked all over town by Justin Wood, Ezra Hinton and just a liiiiiitle bit by Adam Tucker. At over 43 minutes it's a fucking magnum opus by our standards and by my count there are eighteen different people performing throughout this monster. It sounds really good on good speakers and still pretty ok on shitty ones. For best use take drugs and put on headphones and get on your bike.
