lyrics

Under the stove in a house on a street in a town called Lane
there's a kid's fidget spinner
1993 could not relax to save its life

even the crickets that lived in the garden refused to sing
and the dogs barked at nothin but those reckless premonitions
that had scared the whole damn town

This leadership don't care
this leadership attending to its own affairs
and the Ocean whispers strange things the Shore confirms
there the future congregates to see and be the word

8:00 in the morning of August the year 1945
a noise unknown to woman
and a word unknown to god who's upstairs speaking the old tongue
He had a fetish for being controlled by meeker men
but they won't inherent nothin
and god won't make it home
because every month like "bang" the chance goes whizzing past his ear

Fat Chance says we're long gone
but hey don't give up yet sometimes she's wrong
and the Ocean whispers strange things the Shore confirms
there the future congregates to see and be the word

I cannot work here one more day
"waste" is the word
draw a match across resistance
"strike" is the word
many lost their hearing on that day
"war" is the word
and the jungle burns and burns and burns and burns and burns

words that yearn to be the truth try to rhyme
don't let that fool ya 'cause they lie sometimes
and the Ocean whispers strange things the Shore confirms
on the margin the future starts to fill the word
