lyrics

I called the panel off, I, I cancelled the parade
I couldn't handle it, all this talk, talk, who's the prey?
I've got to hand it to you, propaganda man -- you always
know just how to play
We got so hungry outside, we can't be too hard to train
just show me where to sign, I, I'll hand you my good name
I only wish we were sitting pretty, prettier to pay
we'd go all in today

and I know you feel me hanging on, well I
seen you here when you were younger, you
say it's gone on far too long, well baby
someone's gotta prove you wrong

before I go to bed
at night I pray to my
strangers with candy vans
in hopes that somehow I'll get a ride

I caught the president wallowing lasciviously
in raspberries, he was lapping up the luxury
let! them! have! cake, they can take a taxi
to the capital if they can't pay for gasoline, and I-

-- know you feel me hanging on, well I
seen you here when you were younger, you
say it's gone on far too long, well baby
someone's gotta prove you wrong

before I go to bed
at night I pray to my
strangers with candy vans
in hopes that somehow I'll get a ride

you put your heart into it,
and you get nothing back
you put your heart into it, and you get nothing back
baby, bet you taste like fruit punch, well I got a good hunch
there's much
more where that came from
baby, bet you taste like fruit punch, well I got a good hunch
there's much
more where that came from
