lyrics

The countless rows of plants he chose to be what grows,
For someone else that's not himself,
For someone else who wants to be.

To break this box: remove my socks and foot these locks,
'Cus we don't turn the mother Earth,
But we get her velocity.

I can understand it gives you pause,
It seems we violated every clause.
But every social contract has its flaws.
In just a couple years, we'll change the laws.

Rubber bands, elastic strands that fill my hands
Have got more life and more foresight than
Half your wife and all of you.

Yes I could resort to good, maybe I should,
But what a sham, for who I am,
I know I'm damned so let me loose.

Down the hatch you go, so I'm not alone,
'Cus I can't shout this loud enough to hear over the roller coaster.
Down the hatch you go, so I'm not alone,
'Cus I can't shake this ground enough to feel over the roller coaster.

And I can understand it makes you cringe
To watch your maze of bolted doors unhinge.
Though I've been doing fine out on the fringe,
It seems we're getting closer every binge.
