killing fields
bloody streets
control the TV
control the people
you're gonna lose that war
you're gonna lose that war
when it's over
who has won?
the money is all gone
and you are done
i think you know
you're overblown
your time has come
your power is gone
dirty police
evil leaders
control the money
control the people
you're gonna lose that war
you're gonna lose that war

blue is the color
of the homeless heart
swimming the streets
painting the dark
blue is the color
of my lover's heart
stars burn too brightly
then burst apart
blue is the color
of the ghetto child
he knows he will never
get to the other side
and those who are always
last in line
the poor, the broken
disrupted minds
you see but you don't look
can't get back time you never took
if you breathe but you don't care
then what's the point of air
the light in here
is dim for a reason
so we can't question
the writing on the walls
a politician's war
is a war
with no casualties
except for the poor

the truth has come undone
and the excitement is less fun
but if love doesn’t exist
then there’s still laughter
all the people with dementia
crowd the government conventions
political wasteland of impotence
& all the geniuses are bums
on the corners of the slums
giving sermons to a choir of flies
if you have no hope
then you’ll have no fear
and you can laugh at yourself
cause that’s the only thing that’s real
so tilt your bottle up
and never bring it down
and if we hope then hopefully
we’ll drown right now
the hungry rats all mourn
for gravity’s latest victim
so vacuum up all your wasted moments
the electric chair hums a tune
of wanton forgiveness
while the police keep feasting on the homeless
the police keep feasting on the homeless

such bad things happen
by Levi Fuller & the Library
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock.
