On the conspiracy shelf, between Roswell and Marilyn Monroe

lyrics

I cannot believe I left my pride beating out of my chest all across these United States. I’ve been there, yes I’ve been there; and everything has changed. These roads have known our names. None of you can say the same. Our sweat drips down the walls in empty rooms. These lungs have known the sting of continuing to sing up and down a coast that won’t remember us. My heart has never burned like this. Spend a whole life screaming, no one will even notice. We’re shaking, we’re not breaking. We’ve worked so hard, never gotten very far. We’ve screamed at basement walls, they’ve never screamed back. They’re too interested in beer and cigarettes. I’ve propped up this crumbling foundation, I’ve held up every wall. but no one seems to care. Now it seems we can trade sweat for all the things we’d never get. And you used to have to work to get where you are. So we’ll drive right through tonight and we’ll count the highway lines. Let this country swallow and spit us out again. And if I don’t return home, know that I’m doing fine Send my love to my mother and my friends; be sure to tell them I’m still alive.
