Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hate your path to greatness
Your life, it don't persuade us
These things are easy to learn, there's no brain power to burn
In the age of I'm unhappy
More you cry, the more they're clapping
You're working harder to earn, just pass the bag to me
[Verse 2]
Last time, we tried to do right
This time, we do this in spite
I wish it wasn't, but we just can't say be above it
Lil' b, I love you, and I'm sad when I can't be there with you
[PreChorus]
We're on our knees like American teens
Abandoned dreams, we burnt up everything
Set the mood
I was meant to suffocate in my own art
I could be a phenomenon
But the strength of the medium's falling apart
You could be one too
[Chorus]
New and always sunny
Do you taste the honey?
New and always sunny
Do you taste it?
[Verse 3]
Sleep in the dark
Sleep in their heart
What they promised from your God
[Verse 4]
No, I won't be afraid
I know exactly what they have in store
Near or far, I will bleed them out
I'm numb
[Verse 5]
This is the bold design provided by the elite
Just smile and eat up all your lab grown cockroach meat
It's not up to me, it's a tragedy
In the open, but nobody wants to see clearly
[Verse 6]
You think this path is painless, it's by design, you're faithless
These things are easy to learn, there's no brain power to burn
Who built the cage you're trapped in? Who's surprised at what's collapsing?
You're working harder to earn, just pass the bag to me
Last time, we tried to do right
This time, we do this in spite
You think you can't?
Well, fuck you, Gavin, I don't dance
The war path on an island leads back to the cruise
[PreChorus]
We're on our knees like American teens
We could build an imposter bomb
Abandoned dreams, we burnt up everything, and
And then lose the screws
All the kings horses and all the kings men
We should think of the Earth as mom
Couldn't put this world back together again
And then let her choose
[Chorus]
New and always sunny
Do you taste the honey?
New and always sunny
Do you taste it?
[Verse 7]
We could build an imposter bomb
And then lose the screws
We should think of the Earth as mom
And then let her choose
[Verse 8]
Sugar and spice inside my nuclear device
Let her choose
Will spread the nice in this age of ice
Let her choose
Sugar and spice inside my nuclear device
Let her choose
Will spread the nice in this age of ice
[Outro]
Then we'll sleep in the stars
Sleep in her heart
