lyrics

Why do I drink coffee
For some bright jubilation just before a dark depression
Am I sworn to bitter shrugs?
Top of the morning! Bottom of the mug

Every car in town's decals display some green position
Is it real or is it fiction
In combustion engine dreams?
We drove around Mt. Desert Island

From a distance we come to terms with
lightly treading on a moral grounding
We never really could please everybody, sure
We just wanted to be pure and have one foot in the door of common sense
before we come to the consensus that the world is burning

Born into a fortune of the white room with the hard floors
and the millions there before us
who were locked out of that door
It's the margin that they're marching for

Now we're paying taxes for a war that never settles
it's the hell of every battle
that my bloody dollar finds
You're worth no less, we still wish you all the best

From an angle, the ground doesn't shake
the windows never burst on someone's curly headed child I'll read about
but now the sun is going down, and my good side's coming out
I think I'll take the picture now before I lose the light
and later think about how someone's world is burning
