lyrics

SHE WALKS WITH A CHEMICAL CONFIDENCE
IT’S PAYDAY, SO SHE TAKES A LEFT
AT THE HOUSE WITH THE BROKEN FENCE
SHAYNA’S GOT A HUSBAND AND SHE’S GOT FOUR KIDS
BUT THE KIDS ARE TOO MUCH WORK
AND HER HUSBAND LIKE TO HIT

CHESTER SITS ON HIS PORCH, DRINKS HEINEKENS ALL DAY
CARS PULL UP, THEY EXCHANGE
THEN THEY DRIVE AWAY
AFGHANISTAN, HE SAYS, IS WHERE HE LOST HIS SOUL
NOW THE EXCESS TAKES HIS BODY SLOWLY

WE ALL PREFER A WORLD THAT WE CONTROL
SOMETHING THAT IS VICERAL
WE ALL PREFER A WORLD THAT WE CONTROL
SO WE MAKE IT OURSELVES

HE’LL LEAVE THE BOTTLES OUT IN ROWS
SET UP JUST LIKE DOMINOES
AND IN THE MORNING, WHEN HE’S DONE
THEY’LL SHIMMER IN THE RISING SUN
