《How They Made Us》歌词

[00:00:00] How They Made Us - Wil Wagner

[00:00:16] It's a midwinter Friday and there's not a car on this highway

[00:00:20] That wouldn't hit me just to get home

[00:00:24] I'm riding punch lines and dregs from the pouch that we split

[00:00:29] Somewhere back on punt road

[00:00:31] And the big neon signs they all intertwine

[00:00:37] With the passing cars headlights burning my eyes

[00:00:41] In this city of excuses dead palm trees and useless transport

[00:00:47] I use my legs to get to you on time

[00:00:56] But silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand

[00:01:00] And I know the language is made out of

[00:01:05] One up man ship and sleight of hand

[00:01:11] But it's all we've got to explain how they made us

[00:01:20] Unable to explain how they made us

[00:01:24] Unable to explain how they

[00:01:41] And I'm naked except for donations rank revelations

[00:01:46] My own bad behavior pissing off the neighbours

[00:01:50] Lying to colleagues about how interesting I am

[00:01:54] Just so part of me is nothing like them and

[00:01:57] The clubs up on swan street pulse to the back beat of violence and sadness

[00:02:03] And god awful sweat heat

[00:02:05] They tarnish reputations and they smash up train stations

[00:02:09] So angry they forgot what they were angry about

[00:02:13] This city is a punching bag for the punished to let something out

[00:02:20] But how can you stay mad

[00:02:21] When the red sun spits straight through the clouds like this

[00:02:26] And the cold bites my skin

[00:02:30] And you bite my upper lip

[00:02:34] But silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand

[00:02:38] And I know the language is made out of

[00:02:42] One up man ship and sleight of hand

[00:02:48] But it's all we've got to explain how they made us

[00:02:57] Unable to explain how they made us

[00:03:00] Unable to explain how they made us

[00:03:04] Unable to explain how they
