lyrics

It broke down just enough that we could breathe it
Micro-beaded us a real nice set of pipes
Everybody stayed composed and kept believing
We’re gonna find a single use for something twice

It broke down and it left us septicaemic
That never seemed like a disease we’d need to fight
We self-prescribed us 10 cc’s of reason
A panacea imaginary Maginot Line

Well we met your new ubermensch
His Eden’s not a garden it’s a trench
But his hair was real tight so we covered him at feature length
Now the crocodile’s been fed
But he wants seconds and the fridge is bare
So in the name of good relations we all cut off our legs

They said they’d have a salve for everything
They say one day they’ll make it right
They said they’d have a salve for everything
They’ll make it right

It broke down and you busted out the leeches
Let it seethe out like a fever we could sweat
But rest assured all your 3D chess
Is just shoring up a future for doomsday preppers
And billionaires freezing their genes to keep em Birdseye fresh

They said they’d have a salve for everything
They say one day they’ll make it right
They said they’d have a salve for everything
They’ll make it right

It broke down just enough
for us to operate but we’re still scared of blood

Turns out they don’t wanna talk
They just play charades then weaponise their cars

So you motion to stem the flow
Of the arterial spray of the roads
And all that superheated freedom
Steaming up the windscreens
of the Dodge trucks and the Chryslers
and the strip malls walling the horizon in
like a corset drawing taut on the west
We’ll take it to a vote I guess

So sanguine in the face
Of that claret just going to waste
Your optics and your hot takes were for what?
For naught cos we’re still scared of blood
