Stupid Things Implode On Themselves Lyrics

Sole & The Skyrider Band Stupid Things Implode On Themselves

I am not the devourere of worlds or the planner of
battles, or the runner of numbers
All for the cost of a price of a dollar
Nor am I am meal for the family of Soldier of Fortune
We couldn't catch the sun, we are not the future


When it's safe to be a fool again we can talk
I'll invite you to a show, when I'm in your town, doing
this by campfire
We won't worry about soy milk... check the arsenic
levels
We worry about fleas jumping from rotting bodies, we
are hunters now
Take what clicks and make it food
Make the rivers pay
Build coliseums where meteors hit
SUVs become greenhouses, malls become schools
Schools became prisons, and prisons to hotels and
clinics
Everyone wants to be a kid again, but only a food would
raise a kid in this
We fight off the flies
We high off the smell of burning tires
We pile up our blades and defend the grains buried
under the garage
I wanted to live, but the sheriff, he wanted my house
Still got the house, but now the town needs a sheriff
Some died praying, some dies fighting
Some died to get in, and many died to defend that which
would only write them off in the end


Everything went according to flames, the way of giant
man eating birds
Tennis court executions
Not enough of us left for a mass grave, lower your
expectations
That ain't a pulse, that's Budweiser bubbling in the
intestines still
Where medical bills used to pile, now it kills
But even that's a blessing, it all used to feel like a
prison
Now we give birth in buckets
Wear Labrador jackets
Just to see the sun, we fire at the heavens
And when the shells return, listen to the stories they
tell
It's easy to know right from wrong when you're made of
metal
It was easy to rate success when man became capitol
They said, "Invest in gold", but there was nowhere to
cash it
The vegetarians starved and many of the rest became
cannibals
Hollywood Video still stayed open till 3 am
Some were worked to the bone, so others sold skin
Some still wanted to change the world, so they blew up
dams
Some thought they were living in one of "god's many
promised lands"
But they grew up damned and were all too abandon to
famine
We used to watch birds, no we count skeletons
And all because we thought we could run on E until
infinity
And all the guns in the world, couldn't prevent
inevitability
So if you want me, come and find me...


Nobody's out to get you, but everybody's out to get
what you got
Keep the dogs hidden, the guns loaded, they well well
guarded
The kids are quite or sold south for organs
Nobody wants your poisoned kidneys
You tarnished karma, ten-thousand years kicking and
screaming
This is our epoch, just an abandoned lot
Six-billion empty stomachs, all hands on the plot
Keep your hands where I can see them
I don't even trust myself
I know you're an honest man, but the honest moment
usually occurs in the end
And I ain't in no hurry to be eaten whole by orphan
Terriers, cows, and vultures
Only to shrivel in the desert while my soul wanders
aimlessly for an iced coffee
In my days I've watched stupid things implode on
themselves
You had it all, twice everything, but it wasn't enough
Now all errors on the plunderers of life-blood
Who calls the shots when there are no guns and few
bullets?
The man with the biggest knife make the rules and we
follow
To our ditch, with our knees in the dirt, waiting for
the moment to spring
No friends left, so the final leap is too oblivion if I
can't find my blade...
But I always find my blade...
