The Great Depression - Misery Index
Written by:Jason Netherton
Yeah
Yeah
Storm clouds spreading
Black horizons oil slick
The southern sky
What prospects should
I gather here
To motivate my corpse to rise
Bloodshot
My eyes reject the staleness of this day
And reason
Gives purpose for
All the pills I have to swallow
Driving
My heart is dead and hollow
Metal boxes racing by
Ringing out the death of my life
Machines buzzing
Towers looming the antithesis of nature
Entering this asphalt tomb
Self interest my prime dictator
Yeahh
Now that I
Stand to carry the weight
Try to conceive me that it's all for
Something
Now that I stand to carry the weight
I lie to myself
Am I living dead
Yeahh
Four walls surround me with wires outstretched
The triumph of time over space
The modus vivendi each man for himself
Each alone
And each an island
Yeahh
Yeahh
Get me
Out of
This hole
Somehow
Get me
Out of
This hole
Right now
My great depression
Yeahh
