"Dumpster World" lyrics

"Dumpster World"

Worn and tattered, evils of the western world
Real better, over in America
The weather, so serene and calm
Unseasonably warm

Light a candle for the suffering ones
Light a candle for the weak and the small
God damn it there's a lot of 'em
You kind of think that in the modern world

Oh the terror, asleep when the alarms went off
You're in the mirror
Studying your golden locks
And I love you, let's marry when the time is right
Or whenever you like, well

Say a prayer for all the people that died
Say another for me once in awhile
I hit rock bottom, I'm gettin' old
I was really hoping that the modern world

Happy livin' in a dumpster world
Break out everybody in the jail
Let's get it on
(Let out the wolves) Let out the wolves
I'm happy living in a dumpster world
(Bring on the booze) Bring out the booze
Start it all

And we won't be arrested, for nothing now
Don't you pick up that trash, put more of it on the ground

(Bust out the drugs) I'm happy living in a dumpster world
(Everyone in jail) Everyone in jail
Yeah let's get it on
(Let out all the wolves) Let out all the wolves
I'm happy living in a dumpster world
(That's mine now) That's mine now
Come and get it on
(Bust out all the drugs) Bust out the drugs

Light a candle for the suffering ones
Light a candle for the weak and the small
Say a prayer for all the people who've gone
There's no hope for any modern world
