lyrics

See the oil man burning in the street
He’s alive but he’s a lie and he isn’t what he seems
This isn’t quite the world I see
But it’s you and it’s me and we can’t break free

See the county line, blood along the beach
Take a walk through the turpentine that floods around your feet
It’s a week, it’s a day, it’s a month, it’s a year
But you can’t see the faces in the dollar that he holds so dear

It’s not wrong to think about the little things
And it’s not wrong to worry what the future brings
These peaceful moments never seem to stay
I don’t think I can live that way

See the people falling victim to demands
Is the blood in the water any different from your hands?
Wind me up with a story of regret
Feed the story to a child and buy yourself a safety net

See the oil man burning in the street
Will another four years really make him feel complete?
Don’t you fear the changes that he’ll bring?
Wave goodbye to your choices ‘cause they don’t mean a goddamn thing
