lyrics

The sun-baked shit on my shoe
Is beginning to remind me just a little bit of you
You’re everything that you said you would be

The sun-baked look on your face
Must be everything you’re meaning when you speak about disgrace
You’re everything that I thought you would be

Oblivious and disingenuous (piece o’ shit)
Who ever you think you are, get over it
Oblivious and disingenuous (piece o’ shit)
Whatever you think this is, I’m having none of it

And on the same sidewalk I see a bee, in pain
Writhing from some disease, in vain
Thinking we are the ones to blame
The way things are these days

Yippie and Hooray now everyone
Let’s all be proud of what we’ve done
Yippie and Hooray now everyone
Let’s all be proud, we’re everything that we knew we could be

And the way you look in my eyes
When I speak about importance isn’t much of a disguise
Why can’t you be honest once in your life?

By the same sunlight I see a girl, with her face
Hidden behind a surgical mask
And as she walks past I happen to sneeze – I only wanted to see
Just how she would react

Well she nearly had a heart-attack

Golly! New diseases are everywhere
I guess that I’d better not breathe in the air
Golly! New diseases are everywhere
I’d rather be breathin in what I breathe out
I guess I’d better not breathe in the air
New diseases are everywhere
I’d rather be breathin in what I breathe out

Oblivious and disingenuous (piece o’ shit)
Who ever you think you are, get over it
Oblivious and disingenuous (all of it)
Whatever you think this is, I’m having none of it

Over top:
It seems that there’s something in evidence here
With every passing moment they’re making it progressively clear:
That we don’t really have a choice now, if we’re gonna have a chance now

And on the same sidewalk that could be me, in vain
Writhing from some disease – and that is when they will say:
Nobody but a few could be saved: it was a necessary sacrifice

Yippie and Hooray now everyone
We are what’s left of civilization
Yippie and Hooray now everyone
We are what’s left of civilization

Yippie and Hooray now everyone
We are what’s left of civilization
Yippie and Hooray now everyone
We are what’s left of everything that we set out to be
