"Easy/Lucky/Free" lyrics
"Easy/Lucky/Free"
(originally by Bright Eyes)
Did it all get real, I guess it's real enough
They got refrigerators full of blood
Another century spent pointing guns
At anything that moves
Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot
My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts
I never really dreamed of heaven much
Until we put him in the ground
But it's all I'm doing now
Listening for patterns in the sound
Of an endless static sea
But once the satellite's deceased
It blows like garbage through the streets
Of the night sky to infinity
But don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is nothing as lucky
But don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free
Don't be a criminal in this police state
You better shop and eat and procreate
You got vacation days then you might escape
To a condo on the coast
I set my watch to the atomic clock
I hear the crowd count down 'til the bomb gets dropped
I always figured that there'd be time enough
I never let it get me down
But I can't help it now
Looking for faces in the clouds
I got some friends I barely see
But we're all planning to meet
We'll lay in bags as dead as leaves
All together for eternity
But don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is nothing as lucky
But don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free...

The Decemberists - "Down By The Water" See this ancient riverbed
See where all the follies led

Phosphorescent - "New Birth In New England" I was sitting at a bar in New England
I was thinking about another beer

It was like it never got to my ears

Lord Huron - "Not Dead Yet" All messed up, with nowhere to go
I stare at myself in the mirror alone
It's hard to make friends when you're half in the grave

The Shins - "Simple Song" Well this is just a simple song
To say what you done
I told you about all those fears
