《Let’s Not Sh*t Ourselves (to Love and to Be Loved)》歌词

[00:00:01] Let's Not Sh*t Ourselves (To Love And Be Loved) - Bright Eeys

[00:00:58] Well the animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness

[00:01:04] A baby cries hard in an apartment complex

[00:01:08] As I pass in a car buried under the influence

[00:01:13] The city's driving me out of my mind

[00:01:17] I've seen a child he's caught in the sad trap of gravity

[00:01:23] He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree

[00:01:28] And lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity

[00:01:33] Next time he will not aim so high

[00:01:37] Yeah next time neither will I

[00:01:45] Now a mother takes loans out sends her kids off to colleges

[00:01:50] Her family's reduced to names on a shopping list

[00:01:55] While a coroner kneels beneath a great wooden crucifix

[00:01:59] He knows there's worse things than being alone

[00:02:04] And so I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger

[00:02:09] I mean why wait around if it's just to surrender

[00:02:14] And ambition I've found can lead only to failure

[00:02:19] I do not read the reviews

[00:02:24] No I am not singing for you

[00:03:18] Well I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well

[00:03:23] And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help

[00:03:28] With all these wishes I make I should buy something real

[00:03:33] At least a telephone to call home

[00:03:38] Well my teachers they built this retaining wall of memory

[00:03:43] All those multiple choices I answered so quickly

[00:03:48] And got my grades back and forgot just as easily

[00:03:53] But at least I got an A

[00:03:57] And so I don't have them to blame

[00:04:05] Well I should stop pointing fingers reserve my judgement

[00:04:10] Of all those public action figures the cowboy presidents

[00:04:15] So loud behind the bullhorn so proud they can't admit

[00:04:19] When they've made a mistake

[00:04:25] Well poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen

[00:04:29] He knows he don't have to say it so it it don't bother him

[00:04:34] Honesty accuracy just popular opinion

[00:04:39] And the approval rating's high

[00:04:44] And so someone's gonna die

[00:04:51] Well ABC NBC CBS bullshit

[00:04:56] They give us fact or fiction I guess an even split

[00:05:01] And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment

[00:05:06] We're still the pawns in their game

[00:05:11] As they take eye for an eye until no one can see

[00:05:16] We must stumble blindly forward repeating history

[00:05:20] Well I guess we all fit into your slogan in that fast food marquee

[00:05:25] Red-blooded white skinned oh and the blues

[00:05:30] Oh and the blues I got the blues that's me

[00:05:35] (That's me )

[00:05:36] That's me

[00:06:24] Well I awoke in relief my sheets and tubes were all tangled

[00:06:29] Weak from whiskey and pills in a Chicago hospital

[00:06:34] And my father was there in a chair by the window

[00:06:39] Staring so far away

[00:06:44] I tried talking just whispered "So sorry so selfish"

[00:06:49] He stopped me and said "Child I love you regardless

[00:06:53] There's nothing you could do that would ever change this

[00:06:58] I'm not angry it happens

[00:07:03] But you just can't do it again"

[00:07:11] So now I try to keep up I've been exchanging my currency

[00:07:16] While a million objects pass through my periphery

[00:07:20] Now I'm rubbing my eyes cause they're starting to bother me

[00:07:25] I've been staring too long at the screen

[00:07:30] But where was it when I first heard that sweet sound of humility

[00:07:35] It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody

[00:07:40] How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery

[00:07:45] To love and to be loved

[00:07:50] Let's just hope that is enough
