Send Somebody Else (free) 03:44
Send somebody else next time, well you don’t have to Send somebody else next time, you don’t have to Adderall, what are we raving for? To bleed the vultures Coffee talk just to cut them into friends Drowning in the red After all, what are they paying me for? We’re never too sure Did we all just fool them all again? Well that depends Them overpaid executives, they’re fighting against us They’ll determine market value Well tyranny is tyranny, I say Tyranny is tyranny Let it come from whom it may Tyranny is tyranny Let it come from whom it may Adderall, what are we raving for? To bleed the vultures Coffee talk just to cut them into friends Drowning in the red After all, what are they paying me for? We’re never too sure Did we all just fool them all again? Well that depends So send somebody yeah You’ll send somebody yeah You’ll send some body else next time Tyranny is reliable (one more year under the sun) Tyranny is hard to, it’s hard to beat (one more year under the sun) Tyranny is a proven mate (one more year under the sun) Tyranny is tyranny (one more year) Adderall, what are we raving for? To bleed the vultures Coffee talk just to cut them into friends Drowning in the red After all, what are they paying me for? We’re never too sure

Soggy Ground 05:22
Some people walk on soggy ground, very unproud, very unproud Some people walk on soggy ground, they're splashing around, they're splashing around And others run away, can’t hold them down, can’t lock them down While others run away, others will stay, others will stay Oooh, Ahh, Do Do We don’t need no rain to come falling down Oooh ahh, it's washing away the footsteps So do your pretty feet hurt? And, am I supposed to sympathize more with those who splash through puddles or those who remain? Most wanted fugitive is on the run again Cops won’t be chasin him further from freedom Some walk with too much caution, they’ll never make a mistake, they’ll never make a mistake Some walk with too much caution, so far from perfect, still far from perfect Oooh, Ahh, Do Do We don’t need no rain to come falling down Oooh ahh, it's washing away the footsteps So do your pretty feet hurt? And, am I supposed to sympathize more with those who splash through puddles or those who remain? Most wanted fugitive is on the run again Cops won’t be chasin’ him further from freedom

I got a call the other day from that zoo Zookeeper panicked asking what I knew Not much until yesterday when it arrived on my doorstep You’re hiding something like a solicitor But with a trunk like that, who could be mistaken? You can’t even fool the most naïve of my friends Got this pink elephant in the room And it won’t go home and it won’t listen (2x) We don’t even talk about it We took an oath of silence it seems, Too young to run out of energy A circus can be so damning Chained up, among children laughing The zoo wasn’t much better But at this point none of that matters Got this pink elephant in the room And it won’t go home and it won’t listen (2x) We don’t even talk about it Surely you know someone with a gun, We can shoot it up and drag it through the doorway Instead we’ll just stand staring, Which won’t help things as it enters the kitchen Put away the pans and lock the doors Things are coming undone You know you can’t stop a stampede We stand in silence and wait for it to come Wait for it to come, Wait for it to come, Wait for it to… CHORUS Got this pink elephant in the room And it won’t go home and it won’t listen (7x) We don’t even talk about it

Dennos las armas y entregamos las drogas Pasando lo que sea atraves de la frontera Dennos las armas y entregamos las drogas Sin importarnos nada, dañando nuestra tierra Drugs for guns, or, was it drugs for fun? Guns for exaggeration Drugs for guns, or, was it drugs for fun? Guns for negotiation M-16s for methamphetamines A half-kilo of blow for any thing you need Sawed off shotguns for bricks of weed And you can draw some blood it ain’t gonna be from me No, it ain’t gonna be from me, it ain’t gonna be from me Give us the drugs and we’ll give you the guns Die my dear friends, we’ll wash your blood from our hands M-16s for methamphetamines A half-kilo of blow for anything you need Sawed-off-shotguns for bricks of weed And you can draw some blood it ain’t gonna be from me It ain’t gonna be from me, No, it ain’t gonna be from me Drugs for guns or was it drugs for fun? Guns for negotiation Drugs for guns or was it drugs for fun? Guns for exaggeration Guns for extermination

Poppy Seeds 04:41
And we'll plant a few poppy seeds upon their backs Their new tracts are breaking potted plants Entrenched civilians, so landlocked A thousand dots, the chosen targets Fully functional pelvis, no water to help us No one taught the boy how to count the casualties A shrapnel kiss goodbye A dream of drones ignored Black finger tips at a polling station Trigger ready and waiting Ten years gone, the tale of the strong Your speedy trial ended in dust on your grave Ripped a page from Thursday's paper Same old noose, old golden tatters Promised a ballroom but no one's in costume Strike up the band, we can still strike up the band A shrapnel kiss good bye A team of drones ignored Black finger tips at a polling station Trigger ready and waiting Well nobody remembers the Vietcong Except for Charlie and they're all gone So why does it matter if they cut down the trees? There's nothing left to do, plant a few poppy seeds There's nothing left to do, plant a few poppy seeds There’s nothing left to do

Nearly 40 05:01
I think she’s starting to realize, she’ll never be a mother or wife She’s nearly 40, still living at home, the consequences of being too pretty? She’s delusional so when her parents die her friends will be too busy Blame the feminists, women empowerment You’ll blame the religion, the ambition Blame the mirror, you can blame the fear Or just blame the gynecologist She got a promotion and a raise, now she’ll really scare them off That white picket fence is wrapped in, it’s wrapped in barbed wire A failure or a nun if she’s lucky, she’ll get revenge with a vow of silence Sippin’ on a gin that she bought herself, the reflection at the bottom is getting ugly Blame the feminists, women empowerment You’ll blame the religion, the ambition Blame the mirror, you can blame the fear Or just blame the gynecologist Yeah she may die alone but the first 40 years were unforgettable, forgettable (3 X)
