How They Made Us - Wil Wagner[00:00:00]
It's a midwinter Friday and there's not a car on this highway[00:00:16]
That wouldn't hit me just to get home[00:00:20]
I'm riding punch lines and dregs from the pouch that we split[00:00:24]
Somewhere back on punt road[00:00:29]
And the big neon signs they all intertwine[00:00:31]
With the passing cars headlights burning my eyes[00:00:37]
In this city of excuses dead palm trees and useless transport[00:00:41]
I use my legs to get to you on time[00:00:47]
But silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand[00:00:56]
And I know the language is made out of[00:01:00]
One up man ship and sleight of hand[00:01:05]
But it's all we've got to explain how they made us[00:01:11]
Unable to explain how they made us[00:01:20]
Unable to explain how they[00:01:24]
And I'm naked except for donations rank revelations[00:01:41]
My own bad behavior pissing off the neighbours[00:01:46]
Lying to colleagues about how interesting I am[00:01:50]
Just so part of me is nothing like them and[00:01:54]
The clubs up on swan street pulse to the back beat of violence and sadness[00:01:57]
And god awful sweat heat[00:02:03]
They tarnish reputations and they smash up train stations[00:02:05]
So angry they forgot what they were angry about[00:02:09]
This city is a punching bag for the punished to let something out[00:02:13]
But how can you stay mad[00:02:20]
When the red sun spits straight through the clouds like this[00:02:21]
And the cold bites my skin[00:02:26]
And you bite my upper lip[00:02:30]
But silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand[00:02:34]
And I know the language is made out of[00:02:38]
One up man ship and sleight of hand[00:02:42]
But it's all we've got to explain how they made us[00:02:48]
Unable to explain how they made us[00:02:57]
Unable to explain how they made us[00:03:00]
Unable to explain how they[00:03:04]
