Hopes & Dreams

If I think about this too much
I won't be satisfied with what’s in my cup
Was it all just a streak of good luck
Cause now I feel like that time is done
All our hopes and dreams
Jump around like a pack of fleas
On a ragged beast
Searching the ground for some scraps to eat
Searching the ground for some scraps to eat
I’m starting to feel pathetic
Rollin’ around like my car’s electric
And I’m starting to think I might regret it
Stickin’ around just to see the ending
All our hopes and dreams
Jump around like a pack of fleas
On a ragged beast
Searching the ground for some scraps to eat
Searching the ground for some scraps to eat
All our hopes and dreams
Jump around like a pack of fleas
On a ragged beast
Searching the ground for some scraps to eat
Searching the ground for some scraps to eat

Slowly Shifting Change

And you want to leave the capital
If it wasn't for your job and all
The comfort and stability it brought
And you’ll do what they expect of you
Is to be a somewhat useful tool
In the fabrication of the plot
And I don’t wanna say
It’s a slowly shifting change
Cause we’ve had enough
Cause we’ve had enough
And I don’t wanna drown
With my feet square on the ground
It’s not letting up
It’s not letting up
And I don’t wanna say
It’s a slowly shifting change
Cause we’ve had enough
Cause we’ve had enough
And I don’t wanna drown
With my feet square on the ground
It’s not letting up
It’s not letting up
And you’ll do what they expect of you
And we’ll let the lesser sadness choose
All our memories are so fraught
Cause the ones who can claim defeat
Pass out exclusivities
To certain fascist cowboy astronauts
And I don’t wanna say
It’s a slowly shifting change
Cause we’ve had enough
Cause we’ve had enough
And I don’t wanna drown
With my feet square on the ground
It’s not letting up
It’s not letting up

Don’t you know that I’m crushed?
To know it can’t be me
To make the world spin and part the seas
Cause that kind of control
Is only for the lonely ones at the top
Who feel no shame
Can our legacy be tragedy?
Oh baby won’t you dance with me?
Cause you know it won’t be the last time you see
Dead Billionaires on the cover of People Magazine
And all of my friends
Are just trying to survive
They know that you won’t compromise
With the people that you think are small
And you know that you can’t kill us all
To keep the power you have
Can our legacy be tragedy?
Oh baby won’t you dance with me?
Cause you know it won’t be the last time you see
Dead Billionaires on the cover of People Magazine
Why should I try?
To figure this one out
Cause I’m just someone singing in the crowd
And working my hands to the bone
For a place that I can call my own
With the people I love so much
Can our legacy be tragedy?
Oh baby won’t you dance with me?
Cause you know it won’t be the last time you see
Cause you know it won’t be the last time you see
Cause you know it won’t be the last time you see

Busted Sideview Mirror
02:40

Headed south from the city
Already 30 minutes late for work
Past the monument to American Tobacco
And the old industrial park
And they said it’s just a fixture
Of what is gone and what’s to come
But I can’t see through my busted sideview mirror
But I know it won’t take long
And the sun’s still setting
Heading eastbound on West Grace
And the love we’re forgetting
Cause the goodwill has been misplaced
And they said it’s just a fixture…
Cause we won’t need those cigarettes
To fill our lungs all up with smoke
And the sun’s been burnin’ red
Living just to break the yoke
And all I hear are sounds of guns and cars
Playing on the radio
All the lights are flashing
But don’t you let them in
Do you think that we pay
For collective sin?
Cause we won’t need those cigarettes
To fill our lungs all up with smoke
And the sun’s been burnin’ red
Living just to break the yoke
And all I hear are sounds of guns and cars
Playing on the radio

Youth Detention///(Nail My Feet Down To The Southside Of Town)
by Lee Bains + The Glory Fires
"Punk Skynyrd" is the too-short description of an awe-inspiring, complete force of a really damn lyrical album. Number 1 in the 6 CD changer since we bought the van.
