Are you tired of me yet Like the CD in your car you keep on repeat? Isaac Brock worked on the soundtrack Once the dashboard melted, we just watched TV We reached for old CDs It felt like Blood on the Tracks when I knew you weren't coming back But it wasn't blue I was tangled in There were white stripes and simple math I sit at home And listen to my favorite records This one never gets old If that needle don't skip, everything will be all right You had me feeling like I was the Doors in Ybor City I'm Charlemagne in sweatpants With nothing but a 20th century fox to hold me steady We tripped through the Mystic Valley on a sunshine daydream, a gentleman's pact We were she & him perch patchwork Bursting at the seams while listening 'til we play it back I sit at home And listen to my favorite records This one never gets old If that needle don't skip, everything will be all right The soul is a funny thing Craig Finn, he tried to warn me He said certain songs get scratched into your soul If you play 'em back with a red right hand, boy, you'll feel everything again It's like planting a bad seed when thinking about you 'Cause you're only in my head if I let you in

Take a walk downtown You can see life carry on She got tired of waiting on your sorry self Now she's gone Cheap for such assistance Still you wait in line to see the show Tell them that you'll see them all there But none of your friends go Maybe try a new town When nobody needs you around Get yourself a day job It's nobody's life but your own You got yourself around Now you're out there drifting all alone Maybe it's time for a new town When nobody needs you around And if I speak, it's not me you hear It's someone else And I don't like him all that much You're still an empty page You're gonna have to fill it on the fly Maybe I'll lend a hand Maybe we'll hide it in the sand And maybe try a new town 'Cause nobody needs us around

You smell like old money You've got millions and millions that used to be your daddy's You'll make everything great again - that's the power of myth Build a wall to keep 'em out just to box us in That shit just makes me angry Wikileaks and the DNC prove you've never been with me Now you wanna include me in - that's the power of myth You've never been on my side, you got the system rigged Give us fact instead of this myth You hold us down You hold us back when you feed us that bullshit It's probably nothing It's like we'd rather not know than have to diagnose him I mean, he's always been a strange kid - that's the power of myth Ignore the monster in his head, soon it's under his bed I'm really lucky My skin's white enough for the cops to avoid me They're all protecting & serving - that's the power of myth Spilling blood don't bring back the dead, it starts the cycle again Give us fact instead of this myth You hold us down You hold us back when you feed us that bullshit Your hands are cold and bloody Pontius Pilate tried to wash and made the water cloudy You'll make us all righteous again - that's the power of myth Build Heaven, and pretty soon that's all there is

Jesus turned the water to wine Now we're all drunk The table is set Everybody's gathering 'round Some are saying their prayers But most know they'll be left out Every seat has been reserved They got us all fighting for scraps But that's the real show for the dinner guests who came for the food And stayed for the bloodbath I know they don't give a shit We're just the pawns that they play with And it will stay that way until we kill the King and the Queen It's one thing to have your cake It's another thing to eat it, too But when you spit in the face of the one who bakes Don't be surprised when they poison your food I know they don't give a shit We're just the pawns that they play with And it will stay that way until we kill the King and the Queen
