Against Pollution (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3)

When I worked down at the liquor store
Guy with a shotgun came roaring through the place
Muscled his way behind the counter
I shot him in the face

This morning I went down to the Catholic Church
'Cause something just came over me
45 minutes in the pews
Praying the Rosary

When the last days come
We shall see visions
More vivid than sunsets
Brighter than stars
We will recognize each other
And see ourselves for the first time
The way we really are

Decorative grating on my window
Gets a little rustier every year
I don't know how the metal goes rusty
When it never rains here, when it never rains here

A year or so ago I worked at a liquor store
And a guy came in
Tried to kill me so I shot him in the face
I would do it again
I would do it again

When the last days come
We shall see visions
More vivid than sunsets
Brighter than stars
We will recognize each other
And see ourselves for the first time
The way we really are

Thanks
It's been a while, man
Really fun, man, today was fun, y'know
It's like, it's like there's this thing, uh
I experienced it last time
You play a song, if it really goes to some place, really cool
During this horrifying pandemic
You know, you go, "Man, what a pity it is"
We can't be playing that in a room full of people who are excited to be there
And everybody feels safe and all that stuff, it's like-, it's all th-, uhm
I-I've been working a rift like this like half my life, but like
Basic things like safety, you know, like, when you're young
When you're 17, they tell you about safety, you go
"Oh my God, you ancient person, you five thousand year old man, talking to me about safety, what do I care?"
Like, and then, at a time like this, you think
You know what is awesome? You know what is spectacular, like-like, really-really dwelling on is safety? It's awesome right?
So, uh, anyway, what are we gonna play guys? What's next?
I left my, I left my, my notebook with the dog (last place, last place I saw you)
The last, the-
Well, this a bit little number (speaking of safety)
Speaking of safety, uhm, yeah
