The Palmer Squares
12. Everywhere Sucks
[Intro]
There's lame shit from America you can do without here
There's lame shit everywhere
Everywhere sucks
I hate this place
[Chorus]
I don't read the news
I don't watch the news
I don't need the blues
I'm sick of it
I don't read the news
I don't watch the news
I don't need the blues
I'm sick of it
[Verse 1: Acumental]
If ignorance is bliss
I wanna be the most ignorant dipshit
To spit this out of the mississip'
Every headlines a trip
I sigh and bite my lip
Some quest in me inside, its time to write a script
Three in Laurence, 58 in Vegas
26 Sutherland Springs? Fuckin' outrageous
I hate this, competing to be somebody famous
Audacious pagan stay stuck in the matrix
Kill yourself instead of killing other people
These villainous auditionists are filled with something evil
Spill your guts, lethal weapon, live for nothin' legal
Life's a bad movie, wanna film another sequel?
Lights, camera, action, every night, plans are hatching
I might lack compassion but the fight has to happen
A massive malice, mad cap bananas
Cast your ballads, tip the scales back in balance
[Chorus]
I don't read the news
I don't watch the news
I don't need the blues
I'm sick of it
I don't read the news
I don't watch the news
I don't need the blues
I'm sick of it
[Bridge]
So I go on tour and I got no job
I just make songs for the internet
So I go on tour and I got no job
I just make songs for the internet
[Verse 2: Terminal Knowledge]
Politics is not to win or lose
Politics is not addressin' problems with solutions
In conclusion, it's the opposite
Politics is doin' bits for lobbyists
Politics is fiction that gets clouded by the truth
To convince you, there's an option for the choosing
Your mind is a game and the object is to lose it
What if Buddha was nihilist?
Usually a ruler finna rule you by the inch
Or a ruler finna rule you with an iron fist
Dead 'em under a vest, that shit wasn't a test
Center of the attention, fastest gun in the West
Desperate for your approval, shadow within' the coast
And he turned to a ghost, ain't no one usin' they noodle
Aye, hold up, kit and caboodle
And I don't scribble, I doodle
And I don't doodle, I scribble
A Doberman to a poodle
Toast it, I toast to strudel
Overly scrupulous
Most of the music business known for inducing sickness
It's lit
