Light Pollution - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
John A Hobson was a good man[00:00:02]
He used to loan me books and mic stands[00:00:06]
He even got me a subscription[00:00:09]
To the Socialist Review[00:00:12]
Listening to records in his basement[00:00:15]
Old folk songs about the government[00:00:19]
"It's love of money not the market"[00:00:23]
He said "these f**kers push on you"[00:00:26]
"And freedom yells it don't cry[00:00:29]
Whatever sells will decide[00:00:33]
But there's no hell when you die[00:00:36]
So don't look so worried"[00:00:39]
He got a night life lost his day job[00:00:41]
Pushing papers swinging pendulums[00:00:47]
Anything to serve a function[00:00:50]
Or to occupy some time[00:00:54]
You gotta earn this living somehow[00:00:56]
You're good as dead without a bank account[00:01:00]
But it's funny how alive he felt down[00:01:04]
In that unemployment line[00:01:07]
With all that trash at his feet[00:01:09]
The pools of piss in the street[00:01:13]
All of that filthy empathy[00:01:17]
For the way we're feeling[00:01:20]
The billboards shade[00:01:22]
The flags they wave[00:01:54]
The anthem was playing loud[00:01:56]
The baseball game was letting out[00:01:58]
And all at once[00:02:03]
He saw the dust[00:02:08]
And heard every tiny sound[00:02:10]
Got in his truck and turned around[00:02:12]
Drove out through the crowd and the cops[00:02:16]
Drove out past that center mall[00:02:22]
Drove out past that sickening sprawl[00:02:25]
Out past that fenced in gold[00:02:29]
And maybe he lost control[00:02:32]
F**king with the radio[00:02:35]
But I bet the stars seemed so close[00:02:38]
At the end At the end[00:02:43]
At the end At the end[00:02:48]
At the end[00:02:54]
