Everyone you know Is suffering
A lot more than you know.
Everyone you know.
Yeah, everyone you know.
And everyone you know Is struggling
A lot more than you know.
Everyone you know.
Yeah, everyone you know.
(Chorus)
in the same world where the good guys seldom win
Is where all the good shit happens in
to everyone you know.
And in the same world where
the pushes lead to shoves
Is where everyone falls in love
With everyone you know.
Everyone you know Is terrified
That they’re gonna die
Fundamentally alone.
And everyone you know Is beautiful
Yeah, its true of all
(Almost) everyone you know.
(Chorus)
Cuz in the same world where
Your boss is such a dick
Well you can all just call in sick
With everyone you know.
and in the same world where
The sun might kill us all
you can still fight city hall
With everyone you know.
(Bridge)
Sometimes your weakness
Is the only thing that’s strong.
The years are short
The days are long.
Sometimes the bleakness
Just keeps dragging on.
You’re sinking like a stone
But you are not alone.
Cuz everyone you know
Is stronger than you think
But it’s over in a blink
For everyone you know.
And everyone you know
Is doing the best they can.
But they could probably use a hand.
Yes, everyone you know.
(Chorus)
Cuz in the same world where
We all could use some slack,
Just get up off the back
Of everyone you know.
And in the same world where
One day we all will die
It's great to be alive
With everyone you know

LYRICS:
c’mon have a good time.
c’mon let it go.
while the skies black with choppers and the rockets all explode
on the innocent and the ambivalent.
c’mon have a good time
cuz we’re all doomed.
no one’s left to be the adult in the room
to take care of ya.
this is america.
(chorus) if we do what’s left,
we're gonna do what’s right.
we’re gonna die like this,
but not without a fight.
crash into the sun
and shoot out all the lights.
we got one more song
before permanent midnight.
on a blown out highway
to a poison sea.
no one’s gonna save us -
it is up to you and me
in this hysteria
that is america.
so have a good time.
do what you please.
Inoculate yourself against this fascist disease.
the new Bavaria hid in america.

LYRICS:
oh ceaser, oh ceaser.
every brutus has his ceaser.
i can’t seize her.
i just make her go away.
oh nero, nero, nero near or far.
rome is burning down out
and i am fading away.
(chorus)
cuz i got voodoo spells,
and magic spells.
drunken spells.
it always spells
T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
i got this complex
Pontious pilate complex.
Guilty by association.
in exile after abdication
a million miles away.
oh ceasar. oh ceasar.
everybody sees her,
someone seize her.
or are you going to let her get away?
(repeat chorus)
oh ceaser, oh ceaser,
lying in state in the goddamn freezer.
nobody sees her
as the perpetrator slips away.
oh nero, nero, nero,
near or far.
the crowd is gathering around
to burn the wrong thing at the stake.

Last Leaf

I’m the last leaf on the tree
The autumn took the rest
But they won’t take me
I’m the last leaf on the tree
When the autumn wind blows
They’re already gone
They flutter to the ground
Cause they can’t hang on
There’s nothing in the world
That I ain’t seen
I greet all the new ones that are coming in green
I’m the last leaf on the tree
The autumn took the rest but they wont take me
I’m the last leaf on the tree
They say I got staying power
Here on the tree
But I’ve been here since Eisenhower
And I’ve out lived even he
I’m the last leaf on the tree
The autumn took the rest but they won’t take me
I’m the last leaf on the tree
I fight off the snow
I fight off the hail
Nothing makes me go
I’m like some vestigial tail
I’ll be here through eternity
If you want to know how long
If they cut down this tree
I’ll show up in a song
I’m the last leaf on the tree
The autumn took the rest but they won’t take me
I’m the last leaf on the tree
I’m the last leaf on the tree
I’m the last leaf on the tree

your favorite band wasn't that great,
they were just good cuz you were young.
and all you saw, you heard, you smelled, you touched, you taste
was so much better when you were younger.
(CHORUS) memory has a way of moving the furniture around.
one of these days will be back in the day right now.
your teenage body went away.
buried in your current shell.
you are an animated grave mourning the loss of itself (
(CHORUS) memory has a way of turning the lights all the way down. One of these days will be back in the day right now.
put me on your time machine.
play me what's left of your favorite song.
all you had to do was just believe.
all you had to do was just belong.
(CHORUS) memory has a way of keeping the curtains partially drawn. one of these days will be back in the day right now.

I’m an emotional doomsday prepper.
I am a traveler from the past.
You know I never threw the first punch baby,
But you know I’m gonna throw the last.
(Chorus)
And the earthquake shakes all the mountains awake
As the thunder calls the tune.
And the ocean takes what the dry earth forsakes
Under an alabaster moon;
To consume.
Standing in the wild woods
beneath a billion stars.
Or standing in the wide road between oncoming cars.
We’re all natural disasters.
We’re all sunken treasure chests.
Sometimes it takes the worst thing baby.
To bring out all the best.
(Repeat chorus)

it was late at night at work in the observation.
when i discovered a brand new constellation.
three little black stars orbiting a perfect black sun.
and if i stare at it too long i come undone
(maybe this is the one).
so i rushed to the lab to write down my new findings.
but when i opened the book, the pages flew from the bindings.
made a little tornado of white
in the yellow and flickering light
while three little birds in the window sing like sirens.
(chorus)
and oh little angel,
mysterious strangel,
floating in a black celestial sea.
maybe it’s just the drinking,
but i can’t help thinking -
whoever hung them there
hung them for me.
later that night in bed while i lay sleeping.
the little black stars gave way to a dream.
two lover’s eyes, locked and never blinking.
three little birds circle in a ring.
(repeat chorus)

All The Way Down

Everything you lost in the world
Was just a practice for this time.
You packed the car, the dog and the girl
And yr never going back this time.
You shot the moon, the sun and the stars.
Shot a hole the last ten bucks you had.
Shot a hole right through yr arm.
Shot a hole right through yr back
(Chorus)
The blinking city lights
Fading out of town.
You were once so high -
Now yr all the way back down.
The wheels spin the miles out.
Running from your pastime.
the sun burns the poison out.
Maybe this will be the last time.
Broke down in OKC.
Across the desert, now you are free
Under L.A. pre-dawn streetlights.
(Chorus)
The blinking city lights
Sparkle all around.
the fever once so high
Is all the way back down.
Yr on the other side of the world
Cleared empty and supine.
You lost the car, the dog and the girl
And you’ve never been more alive.
Everything you want in the world
Leading up to this time.
You were finally burned alive
And its gonna be the best time.
(Chorus)
The desert city lights
Exploding all around.
You were once that guy -
Now yr positively down.
