lyrics

I position myself as a student
I disconnect curriculums
Claimed by the dogs
Our backs to the wall
Nobody had them

Flying on fumes, I’m fluent in strange old languages long lapsed
Do the collapse
All you didactic debt collectors

Take the biggest words you can say
Throw most of them away
Then spend them as you may with no loose change
And while the hacks all scrounge and scrape
In this economy
You’ll do great

I met the motorcycle mama of Maya
She read me like a file
I’m drained of my guile
I’m an advantageous star

I can hear them sound the refrain
About how you’re doing great
Compared to ancient history
And maybe when they all drift to off sleep
Down in Gethsemane
You’ll do great
Great
Great!
