When it's cold, we bite the top of our zips Pull it up with our teeth, til it covers our lips Exhale, central heating for the weatherbeaten My feet are beating the street in tostand by us and Will Wheaton Walking these streets with a distant stare No-one likes us but we don't care Maybe our kind don't fit round here Our minds find conflict round here See we choose to cruise a route that ain't paved with gold So our shoes don't slip, they stick and grip this road Our tools are ink slits that we engrave and mould Through an end goal you maybe can't spend or fold We won't settle for unsought careers or forty years of salty tears Like a battered old mixtape with a long faded label When I'm old and decaying I'll be the Kane and Abel
If the bad times are coming let 'em come Let the death drum break the slum 'Fore the once young braves succumb The fickle flicker of desire expires If the bad times are coming let 'em come (x2)
Y'know it's enlightening I see so many kids that love being writers More than they love writing
Oi, oi, ey, ey! Bad times coming, bash up a castle I know the zookeeper, line 'em up, lion's on him I haven't slept yet, ever, crust Kicking up dust, leave 'em sicking up rust colour Let it come, let 'em run, let me laugh at it Smash like it's rampage, live it up, grasp at it No pill for the whirlwind coming, let it come Spin with the rush no fun To the upriver it's the flood all stroke no flow For the hope for the coast pump blood Stump fuckers on the daily Dump lungs, volume is up, watch 'em hush for the lump sum But not around here Around here we steer clear or hold my tongue to stack funds When bad times come it's like some old news New shit, choose yours, new whip or brick? Thank you
If the bad times are coming let 'em come Let the death drum break the slum 'Fore the once young braves succumb The fickle flicker of desire expires If the bad times are coming let 'em come (x2)
Quality home life, living a lie now Take it to the road certain women would lie down Haunting images are witnessed in my town Floating through the night with a knife and a white gown Gotta dig a bigger hole But you can never climb out, just burrow and burrow Or stand on the high ground while pulling the sky down Now wait for the high tide and try not to drown Waiting another day with eyebrows furrowed Just say what you gotta say like right now fuck 'em Pipe down bucko, I'm doubting what many say Why do you think they call it a burrowing owl anyway? Feed the lions, despite what the sign says Act defiant and impolite to my friends We're making side bets in a risky gamble Save the wild sex for the filthy animals Switch the channel if the nature turns mechanical Become detached like a snake mandibles The slack-jawed yokel is practising his cat calls He's got the lab rat bouncing off the padded walls
If the bad times are coming let 'em come Let the death drum break the slum 'Fore the once young braves succumb The fickle flicker of desire expires If the bad times are coming let 'em come (x4)
