"President Heartbeat" lyrics

President Heartbeat

Were you born in a cave now?
Do you live in a cage now?
If you burst into flame now
Will they call you a human being?
And your spine is a glass spire
And your flesh is the concrete
And your blood is the sewer
And your skin is the city wall

Well, I wanna be different
But it never gets different
And you promised me heaven
And you said it would happen soon
Can you boil inside me?
Can you radicalise me?
Can you take me to violence?
Can you take away everything?

President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all
President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
Thanks a million
And thanks for nothing at all
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all

Do you live in the new world
On the grave of the old world?
With a coffin of sunlight
That you carry upon your back?
Feel the rat at your ankle
And the rush in your eyeball
And the bludgeoning cycle
And the way you don't even feel

Well, I think about living
And I think about burning
And I think about dying
And I think about all this fear
And I wanna be useful
And I wanna be hopeful
What's the matter with hopeful?
I just wanna get out of here

President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all
President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all

President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
President Heartbeat
Turn me into somebody new
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all
Thanks a million
Yeah, thanks for nothing at all

President Heartbeat
Ee-ee-ee-ee, ee-ee-ee-ee
President Heartbeat
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
President Heartbeat
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Ayy!)
President Heartbeat
You must've known this was coming
