Geronimo Blues

And that's when he said

I don't wanna be washed up without you

Evolved to a lump in a shell looking out at the world with no legs

No hands, no head

No glands, no plans, no throat just sand

She said, well, don't go backwards, don't stay sat down too long

Don't be background sound drowned out

Don't get stuck, move on

Don't get caught, found out

Don't get lost, don't get crossed out, don't get squashed

Don't come back, don't leave

Don't get drum checks, don't get reverb

I get you, but you don't get me

He said, I've never seen more than I see right now, but we've never known less

We've never known trust nor wisdom

How can a million blips with their silicone chips

And an Instagram Twitch prepare the deep cracks to the kingdom

She said, we're defined by our ill-formed opinions

Refreshed by the shock of it all, how noble

And I said, we live in the thrall of a gaggle of demons

With glossy demeanors and outdated opinions

And they sit on their lawns with their thousand pound picnics

Fresh from a hard day of speaking in tongues and murdering children

Cutting the funds to education and health care

They sentence our young to a lifetime of debt

Lovely tuxedos, satin and velvet

Losing control, pedal and other terrorist threats

Opportunity knocks

Britain's on its knees with blood dripping from his socks

Driven to new degrees of desperation and unease

With a mouth full of blame and tattoos that say "what?"

Meanwhile, what's immigrant this, immigrant that

Where the populace pop into pop-ups

And pop out the pictures and popcorn and it's popping off

See the twin bulls have locked horns

And the wise man says

When there is hope, it's already too late, Geronimo

Nothing but air, free falling

Imagining something is there, it keeps calling

Come into the light, open up your chest

Why you so uptight and so stressed?

Come into the future it's lovely over here

Just put your headset on and everything will be clear, disappear

Here, take this pill, stop worrying

Load this world, stop fidgeting

Go your own way, stop following

Make your own moves, be everything

Wake up and love more

Eat slogans for breakfast and shit out the alphabet

Then read the foul future before you pull the trigger

And flush the whole mess into the contaminated river

And he said yeah, I know I'm supposed to be angry

But lately I'm just into gun falls of Mandy and techno

It's so nice when you hold me, don't let go

But let's go back to the matter at hand

And she said I don't wanna be washed up without you

And the sea crept up a little closer to the land

Geronimo blues when there's nothing left to lose

But the planet, jump off the edge and give thanks

Geronimo blues when there's nothing left to lose

Go past language and fill in the blanks

Go past language, fill in the
