lyrics

The bees won’t be here for long. These trees won’t be here for long. And me, I won’t be here for long. Ironbound won’t be here for long. Solid ground won’t be here for long. This whole town won’t be here for long. (They’re in the backroom cooking up some action.) Amazed how they smile through the bars of the cage! Hand in hand through the aerosol haze. Stutter and wheeze while we’re taking the wage. These firs won’t be bringing on. These birds won’t be singing on. My words won’t be ringing on. That day won’t be here for long. Your own way won’t be clear for long. USA won’t be here for long. (We go on managing like it isn’t vanishing.) It’s a craze from the pulse of low-frequency waves. Pat the head of the good little slave. Until the end of days, it’s the phrase that pays. In a daze for days on your knees before emperor disease. I can’t believe this is what we’ve chosen to be. It’s a craze from the pulse of low-frequency waves. Pull the thread and we breathe in the spray until the day we set it ablaze.
