lyrics

(2011)

I know a little girl who
sits and thinks to herself
one day she's gonna be a...

left that blank
it never got filled out
to fafsa forms from innoculation
bit my lip and I noticed the taste of bullshit
that I spewed
which I just took down for lunch in the cafeteria
that's school food

minds and hearts
and all the swollen rotting parts
that the worms go through
oh little boy blue
he's got a lot to do to pay the loans they made out
to never pick up or play the trumpet he gave up
just another anxious drop out
do you really want to wake him up
just to hear him pout about how

his lip got bit
as his first real taste of bloodshed
or cut right into the bullshit
and conscript him into the army
abiotic oil patriotic fodder
