Tony Bourdain

I've been hangin' out with a couple a guys
We've been talkin' bout conspiracy theories online
Government crime
It's hard to find time
But, uh, I gotta say
I'm pretty afraid
Yeah, I'm real afraid

I've been singing this song for so long in
Different tones
Different homes
Different clothes
Same woes
So sing it straight

I'm sad, can you relate
Arian Rad is coming home late tonight

Kyle told me, "listen here
We're all different cogs
Caught in the same gear
Turning the day away"
While I self-investigate rape

I can't find the reason why
I made the mistake of
Thinking it's great on this side
When really we all just need sleep
But that 5 a.m. jackhammer soon creeps
And when everything is tucked and neat
I'll get some plants to feel complete

I'm mad, can you relate
Tony Bourdain ain't
Coming home late tonight

And Brian told me, "listen here
My grandpop's a cop
And he was always dear to me
My friends, and family
But how could I defend police brutality
But fuck it, I know he's watching me"
He said, "This shit's messing with my head"

Glory, glory tell me a story
Of a man soaked deeply holy
Who actually took responsibility
For his actions and deep hypocrisy
And you call me just to tell me I'm a phony
You say things to sound like I want you to phone me
When really you're scared, you're sad, and you're lonely
And you want to sing with me and not be the only one
That's no fun I'll show you how it's done if you just sing it straight (Sing it straight)

I'm sad can you relate
No third person to hide and wait
It's just me, myself, and my mistakes
So yeah, needless to say, I feel great
