about

Sims: My name is John Wayne on accident / they call me Cash, Dean, and Dylan / I woke to a bad dream while the vaccine keeps spilling I live in a city of millions where every civilian still feels isolated / They would’ve picked up and mashed if not for the gas price inflation / So we siphon off the patience for another bad creationist / selling intelligent design calling the school-boards atheist / Nothing but walls to separate the space we’re in / and everything is so beautiful / Generation pharmaceutical soothe / plugging away in the cubical until the units improve Face to the sun but there’s fumes in the view / I keep my face to the sun but there’s fumes in the view / Humans consumed in what’s holding ‘em down / hands and gears ticking ticking ticking times running out / So we squeeze another drop out of that rock / now what’s the sound? Living in the battery alkaline dumping out.

Hook: So you’re walking down that line, huh? / You figure time’s up / They got you fired up / Let’s walk it side by side / see it eye- to-eye Break through the border lines / got to organize.

I turn a stiffened ear up when their liquor tears / the sickness sears still missing the bigger picture here / They let their wishes steer wallow and sit in fear / If only for a second they could remove / take the time to look up / watch the satellites move / Self-centered nation so self-consumed / so hung-up so tired so spun around / Tired of the run around / so throw the rudder down.

I see a lot of people / I meet a lot of problems / think of all the weight of adding up the microcosms / In the bigger scheme all of it means nothing / so quit that mean-mugging / that incomplete running / Nobody pleased with how it be / act like they need something / I feel the same flutter / I feel the same buzzing / but I want the diamond in your charcoal soul / Live from the furnace Sims and Beak came to burn it.

Hook

Like a moth to the fame / what’s in a name? / Whatever saves your soul or paves an interstate / Let’s walk it side by side / see it eye-to-eye / break through the border lines / got to organize / And all of this is so big but so small / Follow that bouncing ball / follow that bouncing ball / So hung-up so tired so spun around Tired of the run around / so throw the rudder down.
