The Lawrence Arms - Smokestacks lyrics
Your rating:
I listened to the megaphone man He said we were facing the end That's so much different than my mom and dad Who said this is just the beginning Cuz they're in love with their shiny new world They're in love with their airplanes and cars and hotels It gets invented and produced in mass the very next day It seems that they've tried everything but nothing has failed No need to wait for tomorrow, Cuz everything is blowing up today The grass beneath my feet is a synthesized version Of the work of a dying perfectionist Animals and open spaces, trees, Plants and sunny days are all in line to be replaced With smokestacks Concrete and power plants With therapy, cosmetic surgery and waist reduction plans No compassion from our sky, Smeared with billboards and dirt It seems that they've tried everything but nothing has worked No need to worry about tomorrow, Cuz everything is blowing up today I'm in and out of clubs and stores and restaurants and bars dodging people And buildings, advertising, eye contact and cars Another day unfolds and the structures all get old Another day unfolds and the structures all get old Do you think that maybe you could save me? Cuz its coming and I don't wanna be on board Miles from solitude incredibly alone Miles from solitude incredibly alone
