lyrics

I won’t tell you that I told you,
It wouldn’t ring true to my ear;
Just don’t bring the mail in,
Darling, for the rest of the year.

Let it pile up like a mountain,
a great big nothing to the sky,
and if I amount to something,
Darling, don’t ask me why.

What’ll we tell the children?
Tell ‘em that it’ll be fun,
Tell ‘em they’re the next great generation.
What’ll we tell the children?
You’re the greatest thing that’s ever been done
... the greatest thing that’s ever been done.

Sometimes a great notion,
something new under the sun,
what kind of life we make together,
Darling, we’ll make it on the run.

What’ll we tell the children?
Tell ‘em that it’ll be fun,
Tell ‘em they’re the next great generation.
What’ll we tell the children?
You’re the greatest thing that’s ever been done
... the greatest thing that’s ever been done.

tune in
drop out
can't recall
what its all about
mind scrubbed & freshly numb
room at the bottom I'll save you some
footloose & fancy free
I got the moon to marry me
I fucked up & I'll do it again
I'm not a monk
I'm not your friend/
when the mainframes crashed
and the towers came down
another Anthropocene
in an ordinary town ... more
