Conor Oberst - Roosevelt Room[00:00:02]

Hey there, son of Adam[00:00:20]

Hey there, daughter of Eve[00:00:23]

Help me sing this tear gas riot song[00:00:26]

For some fresh-faced police[00:00:28]

They won't even know what hit them[00:00:31]

When they lift their Roman shades[00:00:33]

And the people's sun comes pouring in[00:00:36]

On a brand new day[00:00:38]

You who dammed the river[00:00:51]

You changed our mountain's name[00:00:54]

First we want Denali back[00:00:57]

Then we're taking over Washington state[00:00:59]

You get death as a consolation[00:01:02]

You know only hate and rage[00:01:04]

You paid a dowry for your child bride[00:01:07]

And now she's living like a slave[00:01:09]

A prayer came down the wire[00:01:17]

It was all in the enemy's code[00:01:20]

You couldn't figure out what mercy meant[00:01:22]

So you did like you were told[00:01:25]

When they finally sent the doctors[00:01:27]

Once the fireball went out[00:01:30]

There was nothing left but the cockroaches[00:01:33]

And a movie with no sound[00:01:35]

What good, what good are you[00:01:42]

With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room?[00:01:47]

What good, what good are you[00:01:53]

With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb?[00:01:58]

Go ask Hunter Thompson[00:02:11]

Go ask Hemingway's ghost[00:02:15]

It all catches up with you[00:02:17]

Once you get just a little too old[00:02:19]

Take a hard look in the mirror[00:02:22]

It's a thing that you cannot see[00:02:24]

Your shadow's long but the day is young[00:02:27]

It just wasn't meant to be[00:02:30]

There's no blankets for the winter[00:02:42]

There's no oil in the lamp[00:02:45]

And I'd like to write my congressman[00:02:48]

But I can't afford the stamp[00:02:50]

You want me to pay my taxes[00:02:53]

So you can propagate your lie[00:02:56]

While there's barefoot dudes down in New Orleans[00:02:58]

Looking like they're going to die[00:03:01]

You who quote the legends[00:03:13]

You who poisoned all of my dreams[00:03:16]

You who pinned all of the medals on[00:03:18]

All those boys from Omaha Beach[00:03:21]

Hope you haven't got too lazy[00:03:24]

I know you like your apple pie[00:03:26]

Because the working poor you've been pissing on[00:03:29]

Are doing double shifts tonight[00:03:31]

What good, what good are you[00:03:39]

With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb?[00:03:44]

What good, what good are you[00:03:49]

With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room?[00:03:54]
