Grab the Camera!

The troop is ready now
Sitting and shining brand new vows
Like time is running out
When his friends start thinking he's kind of odd
Like a joke that nobody gets but God
Violence! You made it all our own
Grab the camera!
Violence! You made it all our own
Grab the camera!
Yeah Yeah he's the one
The one with nothing to become
So let's get that guy a gun!
'Cause the clock, it's always running out
We should know, it's our favorite thing to shout
So the blame's spread
All over and inside the world
And the shame's hid low
Deep in the shadows the lie under your nose
You would blow, but only for TV
Oh god I don't know, let's get them their own show
Oh, what a world this is!
Where every dummy thinks it's his
But has a bone to pick
'Cause he thinks he's better to hold onto
When his pain is something that I share, too
Violence! You made it all our own
Grab the camera!
Violence! You made it all our own
Grab the camera!

And? Who are 'they'?

They hide in their own ways
They're easy to find
There's always the outrage
And never the time
To them, there is a many
There is a few, too
And one outweighs the other
Until it's you
Cous, they know
You can take it
They're bending us over, too
They can't help themselves
Butt, we can take it
They're bending you over, too
No, they can't help themselves at all
We can take it
They're bending me over, too
They're bending me over
They hide in their own ways
They're easy to find
Always the outrage
And never the time
To them there is a many
There is a few, too
And one outweighs the other
Unless it's you
Because they know
You can take it
They're bending us over, too
They can't help themselves
Butt, we can take it
They're bending you over, too
No, they can't help themselves at all
We can take it
They're bending me over, too
They're bending me over, too
Yeah, just like you
Hide in their own ways
They're easy to find
Always the outrage
And not so much time
You can take it
They're bending us over, too
They can't help themselves
Butt, we can take it
They're bending you over, too
No, they can't help themselves at all
We can take it
They're bending me over, too
They're bending me over, too
Yeah, just like you

Trash City Blues II
03:43
|

New mission
New point of view
Even the ones I don't want to do
Stack that change
Ride that bus
We ain't got the blues, the blues got us
Dark crooked smile
Here we are
You don't know I saw you in your car
I might miss it
all that stuff
I smoke to get numb, but it's not enough
Was it a problem when we were younger?

We're out of the window
Super paid
We're buying these new phones
It's like getting super laid
And he isn't even impressed!
We'll never understand it
I guess some folks
Just get lost in transition
Barricaded in black holes
And back again
Did we time travel?
Because it's all the same again
You'd think even across dimensions
Everybody's all poor and fucked up somehow
With their broken windows
With their secrets from the street
Batteries
Running around
Running out their
Batteries
Post-life, same life
Same wife
But new house
And new rooms to hide in
Everybody knows
We're free to go
But we don't
No, we hide and we cry
Oh no no no
Is this what I am?
No no no
Is this what we are?
But I know I've been
To his house before
That was back when it was called
Blood: House of Gore
And somewhere inside
The man resides
In a tub, painting pictures of it
Oh no no no
Is that what you are?
No no no...
Is that all you are?
We're out of the window
Super paid
We're buying these new phones
It's like getting super laid
And he isn't even impressed!
We'll never understand it
I guess some folks
Just get --

One-upper
You're such an impressive sky
And I know in my heart
One day you will hit this guy
You've got your
You've got your
You've got the method down
Cherry-picking the best jokes
to hide with you underground
Here, take them all
Those are the abstract walls
I'm tired of hiding behind
One-upper
Thrashing deep in the cosmic sea
Where easy satisfaction
Will always be mystery
How long have you been
The monkey on someone's back?
How would you know if you are
The monkey on someone's back?
How long have I been
The monkey on someone's back?
I wouldn't know because
I'm the monkey on someone's back
He's got the laughter code
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
We must make him forget
And wear/show his mask on/to the internet
Here, take them all
Those are the abstract walls
I'm tired of hiding behind
With my laugh
I give you this map
With my laugh
I give you this path
With my laugh
I give you this mask

Super!

Aim low, because the bar will only get higher
And you know
it all ends up in the fire at home
New paths for old maps
We've seen them before
In slow-mo
Held in a hollow state at the window
Just a little!
Just a little!
Pay just a little more
And we can be cool again
Exploit, until the supernovas are old points
New masks
Mixing in until we have new pasts
Impermanent times
Yours pass you by just like mine
In a shallow
Steady stream of states at the window
Masters, and the master-blasters they handle
Dope shows
We saw them all on history channels at home
We know 'cause we watch!
We're sick of being the hands on their gold clocks!
But that's a no-go
That's the other side of the window
Just a little!
Just a little!
Pay just a little more
And we can be cool again
