"Back To The Land" lyrics

Here's the longest game of telephone
When your superstar is injury prone
Seems to me we're only good at breaking things
Pirates after treasure in
A sea of private equity
Its usefulness is lost on me
The argument goes on forever now
The broken fragments drifting off won't hear each other out

If I were you
I'd get back to the land
And claim it for myself
Wherever I stand
Carve out a piece for you
Next to a piece for me
No need to name it anything
Let it be
Come on and hold me hold gonna grow so fast
Only only will I ever ask

Why'd we wait so long?

The information's starting to repeat itself
The houses on the edge of town just let the grass grow out
The irony lacks irony
Your favorite artist painting portraits of your boss's kids
No path to forgiveness for the debt you're in
Questioning the question of the place you call home
The one you don't know

If I were you
I'd get back to the land
And claim it for myself
Wherever I stand
Carve out a piece for you
Next to a piece for me
No need to name it anything
Let it be
Come on and hold me hold gonna grow so fast
Only only will I ever ask

Why'd we wait so long?...

Why did we ever wait so long?

If I were you
I'd get back to the land
And claim it for myself
Wherever I stand
Carve out a piece for you
Next to a piece for me
No need to name it anything
Let it be
Come on and hold me hold gonna grow so fast
Only only will I ever ask

Why'd we wait so long?
To learn that song
Why'd we wait so long?
You gotta know that song
Why'd we wait so long?
If you wanna sing along

Why'd we wait so long?
