When ever I hear what's on the radio these days, I only feel resentment and despair. If this is the shit that people want to hear we sure as hell ain't going anywhere
We put the nuclear launch codes in a crazy guys hands. How did that happen, you might wonder? Well, turn on the radio and listen my friend - it's the sound of the whole world going under
So what's to do now?
Oh I don't know...
Have you lost your faith?
I have lost my hope
So what's to do now?
Oh I don't know
Should I use the bullet?
Or should I use the rope?
They say we get the leaders that we've come to deserve and I might be inclined to agree. But there's no one vile enough to ever deserve
what's playing on rotation this week.
I tried to fight it I threw the radio out, I'm wearing earplugs when I eat. But there's auto-tuned wailings of faux misery coming from every window on my street now.
They're telling a story of a boy or a girl, or clothes or their beverage of choice. Today you can prove that there is no god with a single computer and a voice.
So I've packed my bags and I'm walking out, straight into the wild blue yonder. But in the woods I hear a familiar tune. Jesus! Fuck! That tree has a transponder!
