How the Grinch Stole My Stereo Songtext
von Please Standby...

I′d taken well with the floor
And cool concrete beneath
But, the cost to live free's
A hefty fucking fee
By the time we got the money
And the timing nailed down
Nobody even seemed to want us around

I′ve set on packed bags for months
Just trying like hell to run
But these strong winds slam my door shut
Every morning
I'll slip past the dogs in the night
Catch the 535
I'll send for my things
Once I get where I′m going


Let me go free
I used to be the only one
But now I′m not
I'm not
The first in line, but last to learn it

We′ll all be de-sensitized
To the lore from the lies
It was compromised, raided, and persuaded
We stood so alone and so tired
That last night by the fire
And hoped, somehow
We'd make it off in payments
Maybe we all just woke up
From the American dream
And found everything was empty
And couldn′t get clean
The past was collapsing
I was crying at the window of your parents' house

I thought "it′s gotta be the end."
All of that fuss to just end up
Just give up
Oh, the first in line
But last to learn it


Of all the strange places we've landed
That one was the worst
I don't know what you tried to tell me
I was bleeding out under the terms
You do, you don′t
You should, you won′t
You said "that's just not the way it works."
So, just drop us off in vacant lots
That′s where we'll rot until it′s time to go

The building's gone
We all were wrong
We′ll leave this song in case you never know
The bombs and sirens all went off
We took too long and now it's time to go
It never fully comes apart
But it's all I′ve got
Even if it′s broken
So just drop us off in vacant lots
That's where we′ll rot until it's time to go
First in line, last to learn it
