lyrics

Southpaw Trail

it's a sad, sad state of affairs
a daily betrayal of our true potential
stuck down here running games on eachother
competing and waging wars on one another

see what we have done
ruined life for everyone
see what we have become
servile, robotic automatons

main street's got lasers and neon lights
countless wrong treats to tickle desire
fireworks and sparks
crap that glows in the dark
distract from the stars
and make you forget just who you are

spirit mute and unrealized
small parts separated by the great divide
every last thing illusory and profane
is it any wonder that i walk the southpaw trail?

the fix is in, these are desperate times
the price is steep and stakes are high
and the last fair deal has just gone down
bastards and pigs run this town

main street's got lasers and neon lights
endless wrong treats to tickle desire
fireworks and sparks
crap that glows in the dark
distract from the stars
and make you forget just who you are

and everybody just wants to belong
and everyone's got a right to be wrong
but if you finally give up the game
come meet me down on the southpaw trail

main street's got lasers and neon lights
useless wrong treats to tickle desire
fireworks and sparks
crap that glows in the dark
distract from the stars
and make you forget just who you are
