lyrics

“...I’m skipping meals so my two kids can eat…”
“...years ago…”
“...it is important to insure housing…”

Roosters have begun to piss the world off,
So everything they knew began to change.
Dramatically, they stretched out towards the eastern rising sun,
And the meaning of their shape began to move and rearrange.

In a parking lot, I drank old bitter coffee
In the neon glow of yellow morning light.
Bad news on the radio through speaker pop and static snow:
Some people did not make it through the night.

Commercials for insurance interrupted,
advertising discounts that were good.
Pressure from the radiator building as the engine idled,
Throw the old out with the new; why build it new at all?

Who am I to build a new life?
Who am I to build a home?

Who am I to build a new life?
Who am I to build a home?

“...and they still won the game…”
“...make sure you check us out Monday through Friday…”

Audio clips from random FM stations on my radio late at night.
