Everything's Not Shitty |
Everything seems obvious |
From here above the earth seems soft |
Seems the people get along |
Seems for once we do belong |
(Ah, but a closer look reveals the earth is sticky with our greed) |
Try to hold the fuck on |
Stick our fingers in like seed |
Coming from a cynic |
This sound’s like the same old song |
At least I don’t just sit there |
At least I don’t just nod |
Everything’s not shitty |
No, some thing’s aren’t so bad? |
Then tell me Mr. positive |
Why am I so bored? |
Why am I so sad? |
Everything’s (not shitty) |
The plants, the birds might disagree |
They sing a tune quite ominous |
There must be something wrong with us |
(Our fingers in the ground, our bodies stick straight up like plants.) |
Our sticky side now showing |
Soon we’ll be covered in ants |
And with our skin exposed |
They’ll chew us down to bone |
Like little six legged architects |
Building fancy homes |
And |
In |
Hindsight |
We |
Should have maybe prepared for this |
Blame it all on he, who distracts us with shiny things |
So I say we look at this in a brand new light: |
For the time being at least we’re alive |
(You have to pass to be reborn |
We were not not welcome anymore |
I got lost along the way |
We got lost along the way) |
A metaphysical being on a hell of track |
Tried to shoot for the moon but got last and came back |
With a set of chipped teeth and a chip on his shoulder |
Tried to get on with his life but his life it was over |
(The planets met up for a drink and decided to fuck with this one) |
So a broken spirited man with nowhere to go |
Tried to shoot himself dead but the bullet swung low |
Ripped pit all of his teeth and part of his tongue |
Tried to do it again but couldn’t pick up the gun |
(The planets turned on the TV and had a laugh or two on him) |
We all end up bone |
We all end up rot |
It’s the travels that we take |
That make it all worth while |
We all end up deep |
Deep under the dirt |
It’s the things you will see |
That give life its worth |
