Sidewalk Cracks
Folks with candles in the streets
Like fireflies at glacial speeds
Wonder who is dead this week
Politicians on the screen
A clever suit, he's promising
Things that are beyond his reach
We all get tired sometimes it seems
Our IRAs replaced our dreams
Fabric splitting at the seams
This modern life its takes a toll
Assume your place, accept your role
And all it costs you is your soul
But it's coming down and no one even knows
Almost over now but please enjoy the show
Huddled masses looking down
Their faces twisted into frowns
Learn to swim or guess you'll drown
Pastor's telling you to pray
And all good things will come your way
Just tithe until his mansions paid
Cops and robbers, saints and whores
False dichotomies and wars
Is anybody keeping score?
And hope it is a feathered thing
But like anything that's born with wings
It leaves no matter how you cling
But it's coming down and no one even knows
Almost over now but please enjoy the show
We're so off track
This place feeds on lack
But we're content to just sit back
Cause flowers grow in sidewalk cracks
But one day soon we won't even have that
Cause it's coming down and no one even knows
Almost over now but please enjoy the show
Like fireflies at glacial speeds
Wonder who is dead this week
Politicians on the screen
A clever suit, he's promising
Things that are beyond his reach
We all get tired sometimes it seems
Our IRAs replaced our dreams
Fabric splitting at the seams
This modern life its takes a toll
Assume your place, accept your role
And all it costs you is your soul
But it's coming down and no one even knows
Almost over now but please enjoy the show
Huddled masses looking down
Their faces twisted into frowns
Learn to swim or guess you'll drown
Pastor's telling you to pray
And all good things will come your way
Just tithe until his mansions paid
Cops and robbers, saints and whores
False dichotomies and wars
Is anybody keeping score?
And hope it is a feathered thing
But like anything that's born with wings
It leaves no matter how you cling
But it's coming down and no one even knows
Almost over now but please enjoy the show
We're so off track
This place feeds on lack
But we're content to just sit back
Cause flowers grow in sidewalk cracks
But one day soon we won't even have that
Cause it's coming down and no one even knows
Almost over now but please enjoy the show
