lyrics

some of them smile in "-ism" prison
try to keep the lions at their wits end
falling out of the coloring lines
and this heaven ain't good enough for him
you're the bottle i'm the liver
and to their money we are gibbons
going nowhere we're here all weak
and i'm feeling this tie is tongue in cheek
and the clouds are open here's to choking
your tie is tight or your noose is loose
you vie to fight or you choose to choose
put a lemon in charge of your rights
and the citrus stings your starry eyes
hemorrhaged charred and holy smoked oh yeah
the water tap's dry we cry in droves
hauling for our cars and our rents
just to make ends meet or meet our ends
