howell dawdy - new sound كلمات الأغنية

hey i heard you picked yourself up out of the dirt and looked around
i heard you put on a nice white collared shirt
i heard you found a way to profit from your chosen pursuits monetarily
and picked a spot to put down your roots, metaphorically

hey i heard you dug a hole in the ground
and filled it back up with concrete and wood frames and bricks, all stacked up
i heard you decorated it with paint and rugs and wedding gifts
and trinkets brought back from your trips
and lamps and sinks and light switches
a heavy black metal fridge covered in some comic strips
that you consider relevant and stuck under a magnet
with the namе and number of a plumber
bills stacked on thе kitchen counter
a fake tree, draperies, artis_n_l toiletries
a front door, some hardwood floors, takeout napkins in a drawer
stack of books you’ll never read, two kids watching a tv
meanwhile i’ve been working on a new sound

hey i heard you’ve sampled bits of all mankind’s collected wisdom
and you’re skeptical of deities but can’t dismiss them
i heard you think society needs rules and altruism
and so you give a third of all of your money to the system
and i heard they take your check, put it in a pot with all the rest
and then they filter all that money into things that you detest
like stuff to k!ll or spy or subvert or manipulate the truth
or cut down trees or cut down mountains or pollute your children’s future

yeah i heard you paid ’em money so that they could pay somebody
to figure a way for you to pay for you to pay somebody
while some politician’s buddy looking for some real money
says we need a bill so i can bill you for the way i’m robbing you
and probably you’ve just given up
thinking at least some of it’s ’cause half of the population sucks
and should be given their own nation they can wreck
with their self righteous stagnation and their debt
oh forget it, here’s a check

meanwhile i’ve been working on a new sound

while you’ve been at work, i’ve been working on a new sound
while you’ve been asleep, i’ve been working on a new sound
while you read editorials, i work on a new sound
while you call your mom a bunch, i work on a new sound
and while your marriage turned out to be perfect or is a complete joke
and your job is unfulfilling, or the best, or you’re broke
and your kids impress you day by day with aptitude and grace
or you’re just hoping they learn some shame before you pass away
or some robots came and took over your country’s government
but turns out they’re decent at it so a new era begins
or you win a n0bel prize for preventing a recession
or you can’t even update that stupid blog you started when
you thought you had something to say but now your mind is full of questions
and you’re pretty sure that no one needs a bunch of extra questions

that’s when i’ve been working on a new sound
