Your Idea of Success

I've seen your culture and it reeks like death
I'm terrorized by your idea of progress
I've seen car culture and it couldn't care less
I'm terrorized by your idea of success
Just wanna live, don't wanna be subject to the authority
Of edicts handed down by auto companies
Victim-blame for the audacity to share public space with this property
A propaganda war they've won since 1923
I've seen your culture and it reeks like death
I'm (we're) terrorized by your idea of progress
I've seen car culture and it couldn't care less
A uniquely Americanized idea of success

I'm trying to keep an open mind
Trying not to be such an asshole, this time
You've got this glazed-over look upon your face
You talk about these arrangements between the church and the state
I'm fighting a funny feeling, of feeling left behind
Trying not to root for failure, or staying stuck in time
But you've got this glazed-over look upon your face
You didn't used to feel this way about the church and the state

No Change At All

Time alone or time away
I still have the same day-to-day
Ride my bike to work as if it's all the same
Meanwhile 900 miles away
Cops kill like its just another day
Like there's no disease, no national emergency
Time seems still, but it's flying by
I go to work, I hang outside
They don't want me to care about other's lives
Meanwhile 200 miles away
War interrupts your day-to-day
Illusion's given way to the police state
But if you wanted to know the score
Just watch the news from the last 24
And I don't know what I can say
Some things are best burnt down anyway
They don't want change at all, despite systematic disaster
Yeah I don't know what I could say at all

There are those who say that something is better than nothing, I don't
know if that's true
You said that you got clean and you were seeing this girl, and she was
keeping you
You said if she ever left you, you don't know what you'd do
Well for both of your sakes, I hope that that's not true
Hey what's going on, how have you been?
You're better now that you're out of jail and off of heroin
Well I suppose I may never see you again
Regardless of that I really do hope for the best

Pharmaceutical Dreams

You say you're leaving here today
Off to bigger and brighter things
Tech industry pyramid schemes
Or pharmaceutical dreams
Young professionals float on through
Bide time for better things to do
We can party, yeah it's true
But I'm a bit suspicious of you
You've got this funny look in your eye
Like we're product testing of some kind
A funny feeling in the back of my mind
A vague warning of some kind
Suspicious of unintentional lies
Even though you all seem so nice

Still Can't Get It Right

You know what you need, it's cheap to get it
Sixties dreams are dead, so forget it
And they say you don't to care about that at all...
But still trying to, to get it right
So fuck em all on a Sunday night
you don't care about that at all...
There's a liquor store at the end of the street
And these opiate prices just can't be beat
When things were different its hard to recall...
And they're fading out, done trying to help
In your kitchen its just you and myself
Falling down but still so far to fall...
Fifty years, still cant get it right
Is what you told me late that night
Falling down but still so far to fall

Seemed So Cool

A thousand bars, cliched lack of stars, I just can't care about this shit tonight
Off to the big city, for more party. I just wanna get back on the train tonight
Sometimes, it don't make any sense, caught forever between some past and present tense.
A desperate searching for a more protracted adolescence.
10 years ago, it seemed so cool, (now) its been sold like at an auction
You didn't start this war, (but) low rent was scored, (now) its moving on without you
You know, I know, what you've been thinking
Always the same bars, out drinking
You know, I know, what you've been thinking
The long for change, feelings start sinking
A thousand bars, cliched lack of stars, I just can't care about this shit tonight
Off to the big city, for more party. I just wanna get back on the train tonight
Sometimes, it don't make any sense, move down the coast ahead of ever-increasing rents.
A desperate searching for greater social success.
