lyrics

it's 2 am in tulsa, i need some sleep
in a beer-strewn old apartment in a booster seat
ralph's got all the answers, but i got none
he says "do you wanna know a secret about how the world is run?"

and daniel's never met a new conspiracy he didn't like
he says the rosicrucians faked the moon landing in ‘69
there's lots of things we'll never know what's wrong or right
but i'm pretty sure that's not right

but it's so hard when there's nothing true
and the papers say it's all just a point of view
so i hold on to you cause nothing feels as real as this
i'd fly you to the moon if you could prove the moon exists

now we've got brand new games that we can play
and we've got brand new mouths but still ain't found shit to say
and history don't repeat but they say it rhymes
but the clocks are moving backwards it feels like half the time

now val's the new voltaire she says she'd die for someone's right to speak
but she's somehow always silent when there's folks out dying in the streets
and there's lots of things we'll never know what's wrong or right
but i'm pretty sure that's not right

[chorus]

and these are the lies we tell ourselves
when we're drinking our bodies back to health
in the silent refrain i hear it well
we kill ourselves for nothing

[chorus]
