lyrics

the wind is stronger and the sun is hotter
it's twice as windy as it was 50 years ago

I have no idea if I think that's true or not
but I'm pretty sure it's more windy than when I was a kid
I don't know what that means but it makes me think
and I think that's a really good thing
the plan for now is act like nothing's wrong
keep my nose in my book and my back to the wall
you're money when you're made up like the shakedown and the stickup men

when I focus on the ringing in my ears at night
I find accidental madness is the only thing I fear
I had yellow cake for breakfast
but I've swallowed words for years or decades

dead bees up to my knees
people in need aren't the people to please
I've got arm & hammer teeth for oppenheimer's beef
I'm an oxy moron I pour it on thick
I'd like to make a difference
don't think it should take a trick
I want it us against them
but if it's me against you that's fine

everything I want to see isn't far fetched
but it seems so out of reach

you're mental
uranium
