lyrics

Well I don’t wanna know
You see the worlds gonna melt
And my friends can’t afford health
That’s how it goes
I’ll probably never own a house
So dreams of kid and a spouse
Are in the dirt
We burned the east to the ground
And see them running from death
But keep them out
Why would I look at the headlines
It’s all going to shit

Let’s throwback to the old days
When I felt we had a future
Used sit in bed and think of
Stepping on up on other planets
Well for my lifetime
Such a thing
Was maybe slightly too ambitious
But I thought alright
I’ll settle
Flying cars and cures for cancer
So I sit down, check the options
See what this world has to offer
A dirty rising sea
Some WW3, nuclear winter
Man if that’s all that’s on the menu
Give the chef my sharpened guillotine
And tell him stay the fuck away from me

Cus I don’t wanna know
You see the worlds gonna melt
And my friends can’t afford health
That’s how it goes
I’ll probably never own a house
So dreams of kid and a spouse
Are in the dirt
We burned the east to the ground
And see them running from death
But keep ‘em out
Why would I look at the headlines
It’s all going to shit

Let’s throw back to the old days
When I still believed in justice
Really thought our planes are out there
Saving little kids from ISIS
As it turns out
Most that blood and gores
Been caused to line a couple silken pockets
And what do our leaders say about this needless devastation
They mumble something vaguely
Bout the glory of our nation
Just keep calm and carry on
And have a little more faith
But how the hell is one to do that
When it’s damnation they face

See life has never been better
And yet it’s still a rat race
Sure you can get a degree
But you’ll still barely get paid
PMs deceive with no tact
And plus the fascists are back
This time as sweaty lonely nerds
Hungry for progress to attack
Right now it’s stress and depression
And never near enough cash
And cus we never learn a lesson
Here comes a financial crash
So ethically a citizen
Might ought to stay informed
But implore you sir
I’ve got a real good reason not to

I just don't wanna know,
You see the worlds gonna melt
And my friends can’t afford health
That’s how it goes
I’ll probably never own a house
So dreams of kid and a spouse
Are in the dirt
We razed the east to the ground
And see them running from death
But keep ‘em out
Why would I look at the headlines
It’s all going to shit

Don't wanna know,
You see the worlds gonna melt
And my friends can’t afford health
That’s how it goes
I’ll probably never own a house
So dreams of kid and a spouse
Are in the dirt
We razed the east to the ground
And see them running from death
But keep ‘em out
Why would I look at the headlines
It’s all going to shit
