A Cadillac drives down my street
A bead of sweat pouring slow down a palm line
I see a bumper sticker: a bearded man with a wanted sign
/
A myth we've made to scare our fears away
/
A slogan that we slap on all out misdirected hate
/
A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our pain
/
But it's really just a desert corpse we painted on a wall out in some cave
Anyway, I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
My neighborhood drunk's on line at the deli
With his shaky hands and his swollen face he waits for his coffee
He blacks out curbside every night, then every day crawls back towards Wall Street
/
So I don't see it like it's "us" and "them"
/
I just see everybody working for that same eternal weekend
/
Droning on and on and on and never doing what we've wanted
/
Heavy legs, two steps behind some forever-dangling carrot
And I'm tired of it
Well, who's to say that we can't just fucking change it?

I know it seems dramatic but I treat it like a crisis
/
From the office to the coffin, all our time and talent wasted
/
And that weight against your throat, is that a noose dressed like a necklace?
/
'Cause from here, I couldn't really tell the difference
Either way I say let's not take any chances
'Cause I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
