lyrics
let me know the lethargy my heart had winter long
before it looks to lace the spring
and uncoil me towards a hungry soured old man
and pride, protection, privilege
i can't place amongst the pious ones
stuffed from the spoils of class wars
wrap me in another song of wise and warm warnings
keep me from the gloss and screaming emptiness
of all these adverts
for pride, protection, privilege
i can't place amongst the pious ones
arching their backs and their sons
should we let it go creeping into all that there is?
the secret of the salesman's fatigue?
whilst i'm conscious i'll try and think for myself
while we all were spending on youth
it left, it's gone, let it go
you'll be a long time waiting for youth
it's gone, it went
don't be lured towards the pious ones
wheezing whilst the pull their ladders up
i should let it go
we might grow tired of being herded in line
while you grow weaker and less self satisfied
then one day we might take some of this back for ourselves
before it looks to lace the spring
and uncoil me towards a hungry soured old man
and pride, protection, privilege
i can't place amongst the pious ones
stuffed from the spoils of class wars
wrap me in another song of wise and warm warnings
keep me from the gloss and screaming emptiness
of all these adverts
for pride, protection, privilege
i can't place amongst the pious ones
arching their backs and their sons
should we let it go creeping into all that there is?
the secret of the salesman's fatigue?
whilst i'm conscious i'll try and think for myself
while we all were spending on youth
it left, it's gone, let it go
you'll be a long time waiting for youth
it's gone, it went
don't be lured towards the pious ones
wheezing whilst the pull their ladders up
i should let it go
we might grow tired of being herded in line
while you grow weaker and less self satisfied
then one day we might take some of this back for ourselves
