lyrics

Existence (on the weekends)

In the future when a woman is raped
She won’t press charges
She’ll ask for her change
But, if she decides to stick it to
The jury will enforce a law
Enacted 2082

And you, what do you think of this?
Let’s hold a big press conference
That no one will hear
It’s just fear and ignorance
Manifesting itself as bliss

All existence is just hatred and fear
History repeats itself weaving through the years
And happiness is poured from a pitcher of beer
On the weekends

Go to work and breathe some dust
And if I get lucky then it’s just my luck
And if I find what I’ve been looking for
Damn right I won’t want it anymore

Go home and go to sleep
Have a dream I was standing waste deep
And you were there and you were bleeding
I saw a sign but I couldn’t read it

Wake up and write it down
Encapsulate it in sound
Because I try so hard
To catalog thoughts that I should discard

But now, I don’t even fucking care who hears me
