lyrics

The Earth is turning, and it's likely you know.
Spin 'round your room -- a perspective show.
You cup your ears as the train whistle blows
Hedging a bet: rotation reverses flow.
We were children of the universe on a chemical binge
But now we're Pharaohs of adult lower-class
And we can feel the lines on the map
If we bother to trace them with our pens.
Every generation's overrated at best.
We're playing lousy hands and close to the chest.
Telling half truths and we're making up the rest.
A glassy-eyed fuck, like a signal path test.
And no, we may not care, but we cannot forget.
We're medicated, maybe, but our memories don't reset.

about

David Brown Bloomington, Indiana

Helicopters fly overhead. Cars rush by the window. Talkin' Neo-Nothing Blues. Escalators and hammering. A media grape-stomping.
