Strum through the chords, smell the gas, take a whiff
pick your cards, check your watch, take a risk, strike a match
The stitching in the pocket, wont hold, shake a fist, run and chase, check the list, take a blow to the face
{{Same old insects, stacked up subject
shot to the left, never looking for a suspect
Eyes to the conflict run across the glass quick
Insect inject back to the subtext
second and 10, never less then perfect
it never failed when the flag turns black
through the skin of a convict born to harass setting fire to the flags but the thing never ends it}}
Beg for the scraps, deck'em on, steal a gun
load'em up, no lead, skip a loop, just for fun
So you wanna be second or just sick, take your pick
check the box near the top, find a window, throw a rock
{chorus}
So hard to look lost, show the tag, what's it cost
suck it in, spit it out, cinch the noose and the doubt
sleep in your dreams, ask your friends what it means
find the gaps, overlaps, who you are in between
gripe like a kid, pack your bags, slam the lid
take a hit off a smoke that you already choked back
like a dog you just scratch for an answer to anything
answers for everything buried in lies
Will the ugly ones win? Will the insects win? Where's your pregnant wife?
pick your cards, check your watch, take a risk, strike a match
The stitching in the pocket, wont hold, shake a fist, run and chase, check the list, take a blow to the face
