Let's Not Sh*t Ourselves (To Love And Be Loved) - Bright Eeys[00:00:01]

Well the animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness[00:00:58]

A baby cries hard in an apartment complex[00:01:04]

As I pass in a car buried under the influence[00:01:08]

The city's driving me out of my mind[00:01:13]

I've seen a child he's caught in the sad trap of gravity[00:01:17]

He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree[00:01:23]

And lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity[00:01:28]

Next time he will not aim so high[00:01:33]

Yeah next time neither will I[00:01:37]

Now a mother takes loans out sends her kids off to colleges[00:01:45]

Her family's reduced to names on a shopping list[00:01:50]

While a coroner kneels beneath a great wooden crucifix[00:01:55]

He knows there's worse things than being alone[00:01:59]

And so I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger[00:02:04]

I mean why wait around if it's just to surrender [00:02:09]

And ambition I've found can lead only to failure[00:02:14]

I do not read the reviews[00:02:19]

No I am not singing for you[00:02:24]

Well I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well[00:03:18]

And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help[00:03:23]

With all these wishes I make I should buy something real[00:03:28]

At least a telephone to call home[00:03:33]

Well my teachers they built this retaining wall of memory[00:03:38]

All those multiple choices I answered so quickly[00:03:43]

And got my grades back and forgot just as easily[00:03:48]

But at least I got an A[00:03:53]

And so I don't have them to blame[00:03:57]

Well I should stop pointing fingers reserve my judgement[00:04:05]

Of all those public action figures the cowboy presidents[00:04:10]

So loud behind the bullhorn so proud they can't admit[00:04:15]

When they've made a mistake[00:04:19]

Well poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen[00:04:25]

He knows he don't have to say it so it it don't bother him[00:04:29]

Honesty accuracy just popular opinion[00:04:34]

And the approval rating's high[00:04:39]

And so someone's gonna die[00:04:44]

Well ABC NBC CBS bullshit[00:04:51]

They give us fact or fiction I guess an even split[00:04:56]

And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment[00:05:01]

We're still the pawns in their game[00:05:06]

As they take eye for an eye until no one can see[00:05:11]

We must stumble blindly forward repeating history[00:05:16]

Well I guess we all fit into your slogan in that fast food marquee[00:05:20]

Red-blooded white skinned oh and the blues[00:05:25]

Oh and the blues I got the blues that's me [00:05:30]

(That's me )[00:05:35]

That's me [00:05:36]

Well I awoke in relief my sheets and tubes were all tangled[00:06:24]

Weak from whiskey and pills in a Chicago hospital[00:06:29]

And my father was there in a chair by the window[00:06:34]

Staring so far away[00:06:39]

I tried talking just whispered "So sorry so selfish"[00:06:44]

He stopped me and said "Child I love you regardless[00:06:49]

There's nothing you could do that would ever change this[00:06:53]

I'm not angry it happens[00:06:58]

But you just can't do it again"[00:07:03]

So now I try to keep up I've been exchanging my currency[00:07:11]

While a million objects pass through my periphery[00:07:16]

Now I'm rubbing my eyes cause they're starting to bother me[00:07:20]

I've been staring too long at the screen[00:07:25]

But where was it when I first heard that sweet sound of humility [00:07:30]

It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody[00:07:35]

How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery[00:07:40]

To love and to be loved[00:07:45]

Let's just hope that is enough[00:07:50]
