lyrics

haywire and me
we’re as close as we can be
got that flypaper mind
sticks to everything it finds
hear the tolling of the bell
boy’s head poisoning the well
aint that a sight to see

curbing my tongue
though it was dusted and done
biting my lip
though I cannot see the sense in it

earshot and you
about as far as gets you through
watch as easystreet burns
because profit never learns
gated community retires
someone disconnect the wires
aint that a sight to see

And all the bycatch is thrown nothing ours it’s all on loan
All just pellets and oil now you scorched up all the soil
I took a child upon my knee spoke of things he’ll never see
I didn’t dare to meet his eye a pillaged land from sea to sky aint that a sight to see
