"Grifter's Grief" lyrics

Disbelief when they got grifted for the prize
Young and gifted
Sifted through the grave for a taste of danger
Got washed away on a way-stranger wave
See fairer ways to discount the nature
Count yer coffins
Shaft yer pallbearers, all's fair in all areas

If you're not all there when I'm all in
I'll sing through gritted teeth
If someone beat you to it, naa naa
It's just grifter's grief

Grifter's grief
But how you coping?
Grifter's grief
You're dealing with grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Choking on your own tears
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief

I sleep beneath an ancient tree that looms over the heath
With a head of empty threats, lay on a bed of stolen dog teeth
As our prayers all turn to begging
When beholden to a sun that left us sowing seeds
For summer down the barrel of a gun

I forgot armageddon stops at the mercy of the chief
So, taste the tears and prosper or obliterate your grief
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief
Will we fight them on the beaches for the bleaching of the reef?
Those sweet creatures of the deep

Grifter's grief
But how you coping?
Grifter's grief
You're dealing with grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Choking on your own tears
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief

Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief
