lyrics

Sit on this brain, living in the mid-range, nothing much to change.
Shun the pain, hunger fame, got done again.
My frind's a mess and I'm petrified he's feral
All the jive that we've survived is piled in heeps.
They render the test just as cold and hard as metal.
The winner smiles and kills and goes to sleep.
That dark black water keeps me opening my eyes up,
Sitting too close to the screen and both my toes over the line.
When you back that van, you be damn sure Bobby's watching,
there'll be no more splitting fingers, sitting doctor's office line.

Sit on this brain, living in the mid-range, not a thing to change.
Shun the pain, hunger fame, got done again.
Sat up, brushing, oiling on the right side of a gun,
in a box, over the seas, under the sun.
My girl back home looking perfect in a picture,
the world got just as big as I felt dumb.
My friend's a mess and I'm petrified he's feral.
All the jive that we've survived is piled in heeps.
They render the test just as cold and hard as metal.
The winner smiles and kills and goes to sleep.
