"Meet The New Swamp" lyrics
"Meet The New Swamp"
The stainless steel of mass appeal
Was rusting in the rain
As the spit shine apprentice
Polishing princes were
Going insane
From the makers that brought you permawar
There's a brand new war within
They're gonna catch ya later with the alligators
Good night, citizen
Talk is cheap upon the heap
Of power seeking rats
And the candy tin
Where nicotine zyn
And promises are stacked
Don't taste so sweet
As the summer heat
Melts the glob apart
I can see the cracks form in the pack
As fair weather friends depart
Who do you love now
Who do you love now
Now that you've seen the sun
Is there any one
Left to love now
They'll pave the trails with the bones of the failed
In borrowed boots they'll stomp
As they strain to drain
That pond of pain
Into some different swamp
As the wizard of vermont
Shakes his ancient head
And the sun it sets
On our regrets
He makes his way to bed
Who do you love now
Who do you love now
Now that the sun is gone
Is there any one
Left to love now
The devil said
You've made your bed
And there's places I must go
And that wasn't me in Pennsylvania
Musta been one of yer own
And the angel of the lord said
How dare you call this god's
Hitch yer wagon
To sumthin' else
You low down dirty dog
Who do you love now
Who do you love
Now that you've seen the sun
Is there any one
Left to love now
Who do you love now
Who do you love
Now that you've seen the sun
Is there any one
Left to love now

Mipso - "Singing Song" Let me have a singing song
Leave the chirrups to another throat
Let me have a song for singing
I'll set the empty branches ringing for the ghosts
The birds are dying
I'll do my part and take...
Sierra Ferrell - "Rosemary" Way back in mountains in the deeply forest hill
Where me and my true love, we said, "I do"
But nothing lasts forever in today's world, though it seems
When there's so much evil, evil

Olive Klug & Wasp Eater - "honeysuckle" I've been trying to tell you that it's over
I just can't seem to get free
You grew like honeysuckle on my vine
Got me drunk with jam jar wine
Too sweet, too cheap
Now you're wrapped around my feet...
The Dead South - "Joey" Joey, baby
Don't get crazy
Detours, fences
I get defensive
I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder...
Alan Sparhawk & Trampled By Turtles - "Stranger" You gotta put up with stranger
People than you know now
You gotta go through some dangerouser
Things than you thought you'd have to
You gotta do a little research
Before you say that you know
