You, Me, and Everyone We Know
I’d Contribute More Dead
[Intro]
I was just seventeen in a world getting mean
So my mind took a decade long walk
Since it's returned, I've grown more than concerned
And I think that it's time for a talk

[Verse 1]
Love the lord, trash the planet
Yeah, we already know
Adopt a poor, foreign child
Can't you just let it go?
Spread like dust in the breeze
Population control
I'm not saying we're all guilty, but we sure as hell know
I'm all fire and brimstone when I write
But I won't leave this seat to join the fight

[Chorus]
So put the nail in the coffin, I'll be resting my head
An average male in America, I'd contribute more dead
And when they rail against our actions, or lack thereof
I'm sure we'll find shame at last inside
We didn't even need to read between the lines

[Verse 2]
I'm running on outdated hardware while shopping for phones
In an overcrowded everywhere (alone) together we fold
Wielding absolute knowledge in the palm of my hand
I peruse tits and ass
How was this your God's plan?
I'd say we need to get outside
But there's no point for half the country
It's all cops and crops, and parking lots
Woods turned into housing plots
So the green spaces flee while the food deserts creep
Outward from the parts of town
Where wealthy hide the black and brown
I'm all fire and brimstone when I write
But I won't leave this seat to join the fight
[Chorus]
So put the nail in the coffin, I'll be resting my head
An average male in America, I'd contribute more dead

[Bridge]
Nothing we say's gonna make a difference
Nothing I do's gonna make a difference
Nothing we say's gonna make a difference
Nothing you do's gonna make a difference
I was just seventeen in a world getting mean
So my mind took a decade long walk
Since it's returned, I've grown more than concerned
And I think that it's time for a talk

[Chorus]
So put the nails in my coffin, I'll be resting my head
An average male in America, I'd contribute more dead
And when you rail against my actions, or lack thereof
I'm sure you'll find shame at last inside
We didn't even need to read between the lines
