Permanently Temporary Songtext
von Will Knox

Why does it all have to be
So temporary

We build it up to tear it down
Oh, I′m so sick of this Lego town

The dollar stores
The plastic, course
All this junk and we still want more
We keep knocking
At the rag and bone man's door

Soon all my parts will be replaced
By rubber guts and metal plates
And I′m permanently temporary
As man made me

Why does it all have to be
So temporary

They rob the houses
Of our homes
They chewed the meat
And left us bones


Well lookie there goes the neighborhood
With their windows boarded up in wood
Just weeds in a row of rotting teeth

Soon every brick will be replaced
With sale signs and yellow tape
It's permanently temporary
As man made me

Why does it all have to be
So temporary
Love and life aren't meant to last
You see the proof in photographs

Well out with the old and in with the new
It′a what we′ve always been used to
It's a shame
I got used to loving you

Tell my heart its been replaced
It got broke too many times to fix
It′s permanently temporary
It's permanently temporary
It′s permanently temporary
As man made me
