lyrics

I want to call in sick. I want to break my lease
I want to drive until I run out of gas
I don’t want directions, I don’t want to ask
I don’t want jobs, I don’t want cash

Just leave me by the roadside
Send me out with the riptide
I wash up on the seaside
At least I can go for a bike ride
But the air is full of pesticides
My sink pours mostly fluoride
I try to write but I’m tongue-tied
I need fresh air but I stay inside

I never knew that I never knew
I’ve got nothing I can cut into
We all know what we’ve all been through
But I want to leave here

The band is hot but they just can’t groove
Eyes bloodshot and my heart’s been bruised
Leave the club and hit the bricks
Doesn’t all the drywall make you sick?
Yeah!

Sharp edges have now been smoothed
Eyes bloodshot and my heart’s been bruised
Lots been developed but unimproved
So I want to leave here too

Strip mall carries me
Glowing light so clean
Worker drawn to queen

This all looks the same
Frame on copied frame
Like a moth to flame

The band is hot but they just can’t groove
Eyes bloodshot and my heart’s been bruised
Leave the club and hit the bricks
Doesn’t all the drywall make you sick?
Yeah!

My friends are all gone cause they’ve all been moved
Eyes bloodshot and my heart’s been bruised
Lots been developed but unimproved
So I want to leave here too

I never knew that I never knew
I’ve got nothing I can cut into
We all know what we’ve all been through
But I want to leave here

And break some glass, topple some regime
Get lost in someone’s far fetched dream
Rip through a screen, I want to scream:

The band is hot but they just can’t groove
Eyes bloodshot and my heart’s been bruised
Leave the club and hit the bricks
Doesn’t all the drywall make you sick?
Yeah!

Sharp edges have now been smoothed
Eyes bloodshot and my heart’s been bruised
Lots been developed but unimproved
So I want to leave here too
