about

A song about kicking your own ass to stay active.

lyrics

This place is a mess
And here you are, just sitting in your pigsty,
Telling yourself that the world is gonna change
Just as soon as you grow a pair of wings and fly, well

This world will not rest
And you better not let yourself rest, either
There's no place to lie down in hell,\
You just gotta face the fire, Down to the wire


(Chorus)
If the world were tumbling in
Some massive tidal wave,
Wouldn't you want to do anything that you could to stop it?

Well, if you are living in
Any sort of bubble,
Now might be a better time than never to pop it


But what on earth can you do?
The fate of the world just doesn't boil down to you
And you've got shelter and money and food
And you don't really know why anything else has to bother you

But reality weighs on your bubble
Like a two-ton elephant ready to take a shit
And anyone else could see you're in trouble,
But you're too deep in your own peace to notice it

You gotta buck the fuck up
Let the shit rain on down like a waterfall
Let it wreck all the peace you've worked up
No time for vacation, you need a wake-up call

Give up your money, your patience, your time,
Your creativity, ability to make words rhyme
Or even just to make them mean something
Time to get some work done, time for some unfucking


(Chorus to end)
