lyrics

It's time to put this to bed, all the stupid ugliness
All the yelling and the screaming
I've been trying to catch my breath
It's a fucking waste, creating all this negative space
Our time is spent destroying what we built

And we end up alone, voices yelling watch out below
while the shit is flying right about our heads
and when the big one hits, you better be ready to deal with it
'cause no one's out there looking out for us.

Our work is never done, building something where nothing was
we build up our community, where respect is never good enough
and we all have to learn, to shut our mouths and wait our turn
Not waste our time infighting while we work
and maybe someday all this shit will cease to hurt

When will this end, all the stupid petty shit
the lip service that we pay to it,
the gun is still pressed to our heads
How to we re-create, something so thoroughly brought to waste
All our time is spent re-building what we killed.
