lyrics
[Intro]
I went walking in the wasted city,
started thinking about entropy,
smelled the wind from the ruined river,
went home to watch TV.
And it's worse when I try to remember,
when I think about then & now,
I'd rather see it on the news at 11,
sit back & watch it run straight down.
[Chorus]
Run straight down,
I can see it with my eyes closed,
run straight down.
[Verse 1]
My city wasted, corroded,
urban spaces are bloated,
we stick our noses in phones & try not to notice
the blackened trees, back in the '80s dystopias looked Japanese,
but this one's American as Kraft Mac 'n Cheese.
The seasons ain't changing like they oughta,
skeleton polar bears & billions of fish belly-up in rotted water.
They call her Old Glory cuz her glories have passed by,
now she flutters in tatters against a mustard gas sky.
Blast wide open like the U.S.S. Cole,
capsized, floating with a few distressed souls,
turning blue with the cold, waiting on a life jacket
from an emperor that keeps a nudist dress code.
Now, we're trying not to drown in what was once the polar ice,
meanwhile the ones to blame are claiming we're too polarized.
They say solutions need to be bipartisan,
I watch the news & wonder what it cost to buy partisan.
[Bridge]
We've been living in the shadows all our lives,
where it's stand in line, & don't look back,
& don't look left & don't look right.
So we hide our eyes & wonder who'll survive.
Waiting for the night.
[Verse 2]
My city wasted, corroded,
public faith is eroded,
just as dangerous as subtle racists who voted
for those that embraced and promote it, are the hopeless
who turn away from the moment, talk about changing the focus
from hatred to closeness, they won't say they condone it
but their faces'll show it, stop & smell decay from the roses,
I wanna rub their complacent-ass noses in the nascent necrosis,
more than a symptom of a shameless old POTUS, it's a nation's motives.
My city is a microcosm,
we fight the problems cuz we're helpless to the blight that caused them.
Climatologists war, siphon hostiles,
& you're choking on your own ignited fossils.
When the people that built it don't feel welcome, that's an unsafe town,
when the church Sunday crowd get used to gunplay sounds,
the education board punks hate brown,
I'd rather see it on the news at 11 & watch it run straight down.
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
