Fighting In A Sack Tab

by Shins


                                 
Just last night I woke from some unconscionable dream
                            
and it nailed to my forehead again
                  
to keep this boat afloat
           
there are things you can't afford to know
                              
so I save all my breath for the sails

                             
But you'll find those lingering voices
                    
are just your ego's attepmt to make it all
                           
clean and nice and make a moron out of you
                               
walking a bridge with weakening cables
                                          
huddled up in fear and hate because we know our fate
                  
and its a lot to put us through

Most ideas turn into dust as there are few

in which we all can trust
                                   
haven't you noticed i've been shedding all of mine?
                  
so lets abandon that track
          
and leave our fathers fighting in a sack
                                  
cause we're way too wise-assed for that

                                
You might find some fools at your doorstep
                                       
hustling the latest changes to the book thats the strangest
         
in an attempt to multipy
                        
marionettes on weakening cables
                                               
huddled up with fear and hate because they know their fate
                  
and its a lot to put them through
                              
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

                               
We've taken on a climb
                                                               
and its long enough to put the best of them on our backs
                              
walking up a slide
                                   
and there are those we know who'd have us
                   
five miles off the track
