A debt that can't be paid off, so grab a shovel and get digging
Flip the soil and see what's hiding underneath
Mom and dad burned down the house in 1983
There! Has! Got! To! Be! A! Way! To respond in kind(ling)
So light another match in the tinderbox
We don't even know what you are

Logging on to the mall, in between emails
Signing in to an app to fill out a job application for a job at an application, where my boss is an app.
Here's another advertisement for an ad:
Yell at my doctor to give me the pill
I know what's best for me
Ask your doctor if it's right for you
I'm so healthy and he hates it
White coat on the silver fox reassures
But side effects might include...
Yell at my doctor to give me the cure
Only if it's in network, only if I’ve hit my deductible
I'm convinced that this is the only way

Whose god is whispering in my ear about all the things that I am owed?
Odometer’s pulse with each stomp on the pedal
The kingdom's locked after we open up the floodgates
The next plague comes five-fold
Twin H-A-R-D P-Y-R-amid schemes reflect across an ocean
From the soda to the stream, the sea to the shining sea
And a couple bushels full of chickpeas
All my comfort rests in your blood, coiled up like a rattlesnake
Dam, Va'esh, V'timrot Ashan
Hey that's plenty, thanks, dayenu
The next plague is two-hundred and fifty fold
Each knuckle clears more space for sprawl
With a strong arm, and an outstretched hand
All the days of your life, a claim on the land

You, and your scientist friends on a ladder looking for the nearest exit
Real world solutions to market-based problems! We’ll take to the stars!
If the free market needed a viable ecosystem, we would have bothered to save ours
Saving the world -- one cave diver at a time
Carving out wealth from an emerald mine
You, and your scientist friends in a polycule listening to Art Angels over and over while you tunnel a Love Canal that runs from the Presidio to Brentwood
I’ve got an idea for your next invention! It’s a green electric chair! It’s powered by batteries!
Something that'll put the whole nuclear family at ease
Running arms to Bolivia to pay off your SEC fines
Sending servants off to Mars to work in the lithium mines
Does it always have to be this way?

It's a boy, it's a boy, it's a boy!
It'll be a man, it'll be a man!
And then what?
Will he bloom into his own arsonist?
We know what the future holds
We saw it all in the spreadsheet
Coded in binary -- all zeroes and ones.
The arrow of time flies in one direction, in the through-path of an ouroboros
Fill your lungs with the news
Smoke plumes of golden baby blues
Mommy's little bundle sparks joy, then Marie's condo goes up in flames
The wheel of fortunes turns, so buy a vowel: _t'll h_pp_n __g_n
Who cares
We didn't need that stuff anyways
We can always just buy it again

I can't stop thinking about the end of the world and I'm gonna try to unclench my jaw from time to time
I used to wonder how the Dark Ages happened, when we knew better.. But now I’m starting to get it
(Anyways, what are you thinking about?)
You and I are going to have to work together
(I’m talking about you the listener, me the lyricist, and Kevin my bandmate and friend)
This song is the space is where the three of us meet
(Do you think that we understand each other?)
You’ve brought your whole life to this moment, and so have we.
I am afraid to die, but I'm more afraid of living with myself
I'm sick of living with me, I’m sick of grieving.
Are we haunted by the ghost of the future that we were denied?
