lyrics

A dead-end job and a bottle of Wild Turkey
And a dream of moving to Albuquerque
The sun here never rises
Going out west, I hear that's where Christ is
Roaming around LA in a Black Flag shirt and a denim jacket
That he stole from a punk house in Anaheim
Crust punk Jesus takes all he can find
His disciples, they can't find him now
He's hiding out in the jungle
And he changed a whole lot since the second coming
Lost in the chaos and decided to join in
Is it love thy neighbor or hail yourself?
I say both and drink to good health
So many memories you tend to forget
Just looking for a sunrise that won't set

A pot of coffee and a wildfire
A flattened prairie 'cause we just can't build higher
Hazy skies and brown water
I'm gonna drive five blocks, why would I walk there?
Getting off of work is the most exhilarating orgasm that I have each day
And I can't really imagine it another way
Is it hard to confront? Well then, change the topic
Gatekeeping pricks gatekeep the garbage
Barrel fires in the downtown apartments
And no fair fighting in the justice department
There's a culture war so let's get some yogurt
Ride our bikes straight into a canyon
Make some good memories and then forget
Stare into the sun, and drown in sweat

I don't think I'm living the best life that I can live
I gave 98% of the shits I had to give
Will this last 2% last me the rest of my life?
Can I get some more?
There's gotta be a shit store somewhere
