Drinking It All

Cheers to human action
First drink we had was in the dive bar
And we were down for all
Drinking it all
Whiskey and the threat of nothing
The alcohol and warm nights
Were we meant to be?
Were we meant to be?
As we get blacked again
Cheers to another round
And the downfall
Another steady downfall
Drinking it all as you did the lines
And we were drinking it all as the problems arrive
Drinking it all as I lose the fight
Yeah we were drinking it all
Yeah we were drinking it all
Drinking it all as you did the lines
And we were drinking it all just to tell the lies
Drinking it all and we felt alive
I want to sink in your eyes
I want to sink in your eyes
Don't be alarmed
So cheers to our second nature
Trying to remember all of the night before
I said I wouldn’t drink anymore
How did I make you feel this time?
Tell me again over a pint!
How did I make you feel this time?
Tell me again over a pint!
Drinking it all as you did the lines
And we were drinking it all as the problems arrive
Drinking it all as I lose the fight
Yeah we were drinking it all
Yeah we were drinking it all
Drinking it all as you did the lines
And we were drinking it it all just to tell the lies
Drinking it all and we felt alive
I want to sink in your eyes
I want to sink in your eyes
You know there's girls like you
And there's boys like me
We're fucking around
We'll never be complete

What's Holding Us Back
04:41

Tired
Hanging around
Tired
Of hanging around
Hoping the wise blood will guide me
From guilt that destroys the body
Losing the battle with your mind
Perverted thoughts like war crimes
He’s a front man now
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
He’s a front man now
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
He’s a front man now
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
He’s a front man now
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
As we turn turn backwards
We have to see
What's holding us back
It's just a sliver of time
As we turn turn backwards
We have to see
What's holding us back
It's just a sliver of
Silver lining
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
He’s a front man now
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
He’s a front man now
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
Gotta change the rules
He’s a front man now
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
Give up on the dream
Time?
What's holding us back
Im tired
Being rich should be a crime
When the sweat from our music and labor is chained to the dime
Over and over and over and o....
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
Its just a sliver of time
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
Its just a sliver of time
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
Its just a sliver of time
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
What's holding us back?
Over and Over and Over
Its just a sliver of time
Silver lining
Silver lining
I for I

And you for you

And you for you
I for I
and you for you
I still want this for us
I still want this for us
I still want this for us
I still want this for us

Culture Industry

Sometimes I see an object or "art" piece
It's a culture industry
Reproduced and repackaged “content”
It's a culture industry
In your very own home
You can be the girl with a Van Gogh in your hands
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
The cultural logic of late capitalism
Everything has been subsumed
Art and culture have become technologically reproducible
You know you want it
Because they want it too
Individuals produced on a screen
But it's all jargon of authenticity
Mass society
Yeah yeah yeah
One dimensional
We've heard it all before
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
Pay up, pay up, it's who you are
Your expensive future self
I will not be in will debt to another man for capital
I will not be a slave to your psychoanalytical advertising techniques on the self
They are the enemy
They are the enemy
They are the enemy
They are the enemy
They are the enemy
You love your enemy
You love your enemy
They are the enemy
They are the enemy
You love your enemy

Here we are once again
Saw her at the store
I was always scared but im finally going to say something.
Perhaps everything could be better starting now
But the sad curtain still hangs
Casting a shadow over the regret
Always
Waiting for change out of the blue
Nobody belongs more than you
All those fruitlesss attempts now I sing this song
For the awkwardness of living waiting for regret to be gone
Are you gonna pull through?
You're wonderful, in your ways
You're beautiful, in your grace
You're wonderful
How can you not be?
Natures way of telling you
Keep on trying for a room with a view
When losing all those awful games that we play
The entire world at the click of a button
What's the point in staying connected
When all it leads is to being lonely
Tiny accidents have the room to make
Things fall in to place
Always
You're wonderful, in your ways
You're beautiful, in your grace
You're wonderful
How can you not be?
How can you not be?
You're wonderful
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
You're beautiful
Keep on dying
Keep on dying
You're wonderful
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
You're beautiful
Keep on dying
Keep on dying
You're wonderful

Whole Wide World
04:08

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
"There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti."
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribean Sea is blue
Weeping in the tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's talking about you
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
Why am I hanging around in the rain right here
Trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eyes
Filling up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath a tropical sun
Pining a way in a heat wave there
Hoping that I won't be long
I should be lying on that sun swept beach with her
Caressing her warm, brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her.
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Yeah!
Whole wide world
Whole wide world
