[length: 06:20]
[00:15.48]Good morning!
[00:16.36]White picket fences
[00:19.32]Barbed wire and trenches
[00:21.57]Trick or treat
[00:22.82]Merry Christmas
[00:24.46]Howdy, neighbor
[00:25.60]Thank you, Jesus
[00:27.27]Oh, what is he building in that painted lady?
[00:33.33]A participation trophy wife or blonde, blue-eyed baby?
[00:39.26]Wide-eyed and wired
[00:42.06]The snap-crackle-pop of the Geiger
[00:44.81]Camouflage billboards for lead-lined Brooks Brothers
[00:47.99]You elbow the jukebox and sing “Duck and Cover”
[00:50.53]And breed out our incisors, feed on white wine and Pfizer
[00:56.42]It don’t look like survival, b-but buy now or die
[01:01.47]Suburbia
[01:06.82]You’re not alone
[01:12.84]The lights are on
[01:18.34]But no one’s home
[01:21.03]So, welcome home
[01:25.09]Myers-Briggs, OKULTRA
[01:27.89]Takes a village to fake a whole culture
[01:31.19]Your ear to the playground, your eye on the ball
[01:34.06]Your head in the gutter, your brains on the wall, oh well
[01:37.26]Home is where the heart is
[01:39.53]You ain’t homeless, but you’re heartless
[01:42.54]It’s the safest on the market
[01:45.34]But you still gotta watch where you park it
[01:48.12]So give me your half-life crisis
[01:50.97]I can tell that you know where paradise is
[01:53.38]Where parasites don’t care what your blood type is
[01:56.40]Only pheromones and serotonin decide
[01:59.24]If it’s true that a snowflake only matters in a blizzard
[02:05.00]Everyone knows that nobody knows that
[02:07.97]Everybody’s all up in my, everybody’s all up in my
[02:10.46]Everybody’s all up in my business
[02:12.67]Suburbia
[02:17.27]Where you belong
[02:23.33]The lights are on
[02:28.30]But no one’s home
[02:31.03]So, welcome home
[02:37.70]Ch-ch-chameleon peacocks are talk of the town
[02:41.82]Well word gets around on hit number stations
[02:46.33]He cums radiation
[02:49.14]The dog bites the postman while basement eyes dream
[02:57.44]Of a night at the drive-in with an AR-15
[03:05.54]
[03:15.01]I dropped my eyeballs in the bonfire, we fucked on a bed of nails
[03:19.66]I caught Kuru from your sister and died laughing in jail
[03:23.88]Smell those screaming teenage sweetbreads on the 4th of July grill
[03:27.96]Smile and wave, boys, kiss the cook
[03:29.89]Live laugh and love
[03:31.17]Please pass the pills
[03:32.15]It’s only culture
[03:34.28]It’s only culture
[03:36.34]It’s only culture
[03:40.32]Sulfur, smoke, and soot
[03:41.82]You learned to torture house cats, like vultures
[03:46.28]You cocked and sucked your lack of empathy
[03:48.87]Pulled the trigger with your foot to prove you’ve got
[03:51.44]Blood
[03:52.86]Didn’t they want your blood?
[03:55.05]So why apologize for being blue and cold?
[03:59.84]Blood
[04:01.20]Didn’t they want your blood?
[04:03.46]So don’t apologize for being blue and cold
[04:08.91]
[04:16.31]It’s only culture
[04:18.57]It’s only culture
[04:20.83]It’s only ah, ah, ah, ah
[04:23.68]Culture’s not your friend
[04:25.01]Hey, fuck your culture
[04:27.14]I ain’t got no culture
[04:29.53]It’s only culture, and it’s more afraid of you than you are of it
[04:33.52]Go on, drink that
[04:34.77]Blood
[04:35.86]Didn’t they want your blood?
[04:38.25]So why apologize when you turn blue and cold?
[04:43.21]Blood
[04:44.58]Didn’t they want your blood?
[04:46.83]So don’t apologize for being blue and cold
[04:52.19]Were you Nabokov to a Salinger?
[04:55.93]Were you Jung to Freud or Dass to a Leary?
[05:00.22]Were you mother, daughter, subject, and author?
[05:04.37]You don’t make the rules, you just write them down and
[05:07.09]Do it by the book you throw around
[05:09.30]Do you know the difference between blazing trails and slash-and-burn?
[05:14.81]Going against the grain and catching splinters?
[05:19.62]You pull out your Rorschach like a paint-by-numbers treasure map
[05:24.72]The ink upon on your jigsaw piece trace you back to your fingerprints
[05:31.10]Well, Lot, he had his lot in life
[05:33.59]Job his job and I guess you’ll too, and die
[05:36.46]The Lord looked down and said, “hey, you’re only mortal”
[05:41.46]Giveth and taketh away ’till things come out a certain way
[05:46.84]Leave you wondering when they might go back to normal
[05:51.61]Leave you wondering why they can’t have just been normal
