lyrics

You would be a legend in the swamp.
You would be gold, honey.
You would hit the top.
You would dine
With the gators and the ghosts.
You would live on avocado soda pop.

You wonder what to make,
You make the most
You slither like a snake
When the others aren't awake,
But I know.

What's the matter? What's wrong? Wassup?
Got an adder in your chutes & ladders?
Be a human, know the rules, get up
Stop your crying, it's a long long ride

Gravel roads, getting stoned
Just a bag o' bones
Rotten then ripe
Then growing from a vine
I've seen it happen a million times
But not a single person can explain Why:

Why I breathe in just like a tree
But I breathe out just like a factory
Why the only time I dance
Is when I'm on my knees
Begging, "Please!
Just guard your sheep!"

But lightning is the answer I receive.
It burns the sky so splendidly
Almost breaks the world in half,
The bass is so heavy
It reads the Word right into me,
Like a gospel carved into a tree
Now I know it's time for the end
Of our sweet dreams
And our blasphemies.

Every boss I ever got to
In every single game
Always beat me at least once.
Pluck it from a vine,
Try again tomorrow.

Go to sleep now, baby
You're too old for lullabies
And you're too old for fairy tales
But you're too young,
Much too young to die.
Don't be afraid,
Just hold my hand
We're leaving this swamp.
I'm taking you to a palace in the sky.

What's the matter? What's wrong? Wassup?
Got an adder in your chutes & ladders?
Be a human, know the rules, get up
Stop your crying, it's a long long ride

We'll watch the oceans turn black
With our seats laid back.
We now present the counter-attack
With our systems up and our systems on
With our missiles aimed
And our shields gone
We will burn it all down,
Burn it to the ground,
Burn it all to nothing
But dust and bones!
God knows what planet
Your friends are on, son,
You've gotten so far from home!
