lyrics

I might shoot myself just to say I killed a man
and I might say I'd do so many things that I'll never ever ever plan
and I'll never carry through since
we just say the words because they're there, so even when we're serious it's difficult to care
so we'll grow our hair over our eyes like some kind of protein wall
bitch about shit like and mom and dad and our new classes in the fall
and we will be so grateful
for the dinners that we waste
and we will be so spiteful
of those who house our heads
and we will be so purepred
spit on those who aren't
and we will pray each night
give me more, give me more

i is we
we are i
the books are burned
the eyes are dry
from staring at our screens
and arguing with walls
a nation of fatherless baby boys
and girls who've worn out their mothers
sucked out the will from the wells of trying
the welcome is gone

and we will be so fine
with this stagnancy we've caused
we will be so dead in the eyes
with all of our drugs
we will be so awful
shit on everyone even ourselves
and we will bitch each night
give me more

"What do you get when folk music gets drunk, and inadvertently confuses Shoegazey Ambient Electronica for it's normal fuck buddy, rock music, booty calls SAE at two in the morning, forgets to wear a condom, and gets SAE pregnant?
You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs ... more
