lyrics

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
