lyrics

1. Awkward City
This town has a hold on me
Someone should burn it on down.
Young kids with social disease
Someone should set them all free.
We could discuss my disgust
But I’d rather burn it on down.
This town has a hold on us
Someone should set it on free.
Every street in this town has a story
Every story is so fucking boring.
This town has hold on me
Someone should burn it on down.
Awkward kids with social disease
Set them all free.
We could discuss my disgust
I’d rather burn it all down.

2. Bloomberg Plows
It'll take an army
to clear your streets
you've got in spades
million dollar sheets

Don't cramp the style
They'll head up the coast
Don't tax Don't smile
Sort the bodies, call in the hearse
Let's all hail the chief, let's all hail the thief, let's all hail the chief.
Diamond sashemi, Laced with sweat
Send the word call in the plows
Blame yourself
The Halls of Tammany
are paved in platinum
deliberate and dumb
Go tell it to a mountain

3. Old Mouths
Trapped in this chair
I knew that you'd say that
Trapped in this chair
I knew you'd come clean
Knew I had it coming
I lent you an ear
You've told me too much
Feels like next year
I heard it all before
Heard you loud and clear
the hands are in the gloves
another joke my dear
Old mouths
They never come clean

4. Age of Backwards
