"Tragedy Of The Commons" lyrics

"Tragedy Of The Commons"

The tragedy of the commons
We've been God, now God wants to be us
Just lying like dogs laying in the sunshine
Feel the emptiness of creature comforts
I want some, I want some

You've always gone, you're never here
It's hard to smile from ear to ear

Babe, I'm dog tired
Can I cancel it all?

The hate train, pray that it crashes
Jaded chattering of neo-fascists
The clatter of the ever-warring classes
So we chose to look within
Off my rocker with the rest of them
The relatives we'll never see again

Yeah, this is wild, it's comical
How to survive through obstacles

Babe, I'm dog tired
I can't stay long
And the nighttime is the wrong time
To be with the one you love

Often in error but seldom in doubt
I'll evolve with the problem next time around
Stick out your neck for somebody else
And they laugh in your face like, "go fuck yourself"
You speak so soft and sob so loud
Can't figure what in the hell are you talking about
Shamed once and yet again
But this time you won't forget it

Babe, I'm dog tired
Can I cancel it all?
Days spin blind, a loss of mine
You don't mean goodbye
And the nighttime is the wrong time
To be with the one you love
