The Lawrence Arms Smokestacks lyrics

I listened to the megaphone man
He said we were facing the end
That's so much better than my mom and dad who said this is just the beginning .....
Cuz they're in love with their shiny new world.
They're in love with their airplanes and cars and hotels.
It gets invented and produced in mass the very next day.
It seems that they've tried everything and nothing has failed.
No need to wait for tomorrow, cuz everything is blowing up today.
The grass beneath my feet is a synthesized version of the work of a dying perfectionist.
Animals and open spaces
Trees
Plants and sunny days are all in line to be replaced with smokestacks
Concrete and power plants
With therapy, cosmetic surgery and waist reduction plans
No compassion from our sky, smeared with billboards and dirt

It seems that they've tried everything but nothing has worked
No need to worry about tomorrow
Cuz everything is blowing up today
I'm in and out of clubs and stores and restaurants and bars dodging people and buildings
Advertising
Eye contact and cars
Another day unfolds and the structures all get old
Do you think that maybe you could save me
Cuz it's coming and I don't wanna be on board
Miles from solitude
Incredibly alone miles from solitude
Incredibly alone
