about

This song is mostly about Prince George and I wrote it while I was living there the first time when I wasn't ready to live there

lyrics

An invisible man on a public bus is a monotone reflection of the rest of us. not a stutter or a skip in life’s rotation, changing shoes at the next bus station. hey you-you live in a box, me too (but mine is nicer because I am richer than you) I stare through my window, only to see blinding neon lights burning holes in me, screaming: buy our cars! buy our shoes! buy our fucking TVs! (made in toxic factories by the underpaid chinese...) reality, reality. all we do is shit and eat and work and sleep and wake each day to wait and waste and pass the time away. replicate or just to screw, well....what else is there to do? the cops show up (to shut us up) these walls are too thin, I can hear the neighbours pissing in this complex that I live in. three bums around the rubbish bin “hey! what kind of shit have you got yourselves into?” it sure looks a lot like alcoholism. one two three pound the listerine. pass it in a circle like a joint or a minute hand. three two one pound it like it’s rum swallowed by a pirate in the Caribbean sun. an invisible man is clutching a needle, about to stuff his veins with something evil, while another one staggers down the side of the street with a puddle of puke between his feet we’ve got hills here, topped with tarps and traffic lights. we’ve got bullets and machetes in the middle of the night. drive your cars! get new shoes! drink our fucking coffee! we don’t really care about your kids, we just trade scams for money.
