"Recovering The Opposable Thumb" lyrics
"Recovering The Opposable Thumb"
Is there any hope for us, or are the rumors true?
Are we just the mulch and kindling that accrues?
Can we recover from this?
I've seen expressions in department stores
I've smelled regression wafting up from these shores
This is not a celebration of slipping through some crack
This is sloth and devastation and we're the resulting trash
Count on your fingers tonight
Count on your fingers tonight
And believe what you find
I'm sick of making small talk in this rotting chowline
Recover, recover recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover, recover?
We cover our heads and we run for the gutter!
Toby Keith's horses and Toby Keith's men
Finally put us all in our place
It's a wonderful hug when there's so much more to love
When there's steaks and hearts jammed in your face
This is the fucking slop line
And we're scratching with our hooves
How much of evolution
Must we finally disprove?
Count on your fingers tonight
Count on your fingers tonight
And believe what you find
I don't believe what we find
Recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover?
Can we recover, recover, recover, recover?
We cover our heads and we run for the gutter
Dear Mother, I'm sorry
There was nowhere left to run
We fought and we fought until our bullets ran out
And they took us one by one
Dear Mother, I'm sorry
We had just barely begun
This will be the last letter from your only son
From your only son
Yeah I do not believe
Recover as one, recover as one
Recover as one, recover as one

Banner Pilot - "Division Street" If I've had better days then they're hard to remember
I was stuck in a bender before we met, there wasn't anything
But I've been on a high since the moment I saw you
And there's nothing I won't do...
Samiam - "Super Brava" Through the street lights and forfeited lanes
With a trunk full of everything that we could get
There is a place that's safe for those who know no better
That's where we keep our hideout hidden...
Alkaline Trio - "My Friend Peter" I don't care who you've been sleeping with these days
You're out of my hair
It's growing just above my smiling face that I wear
Every night, I drink myself to sleep
I'm not thinking about you
I'm not...
Pears - "The World Is Ending (Sorta)" He's got a carcass in the basement
And it's high time he found a replacement
It'll be just like a first date, but better
Its the farthest that he's been from
A careful process for a quick completion...
