Silversun Pickups - Future foe scenarios

The things we laid
Do not amount to much
Made of abandoned wood
Loose stones and such
This revolution baby
Proves who you work for lately

Release the castaways
Who run amok
From self appointed winds which blow and such
When present tense
Gets strangled in the mire
Made of our cosy decomposing wires

Who do you work for baby
And does it work for you lately

But when the night is over
And the walls start burning
When fire starts to matter
And the clock is churning
Clichés and other chatter
Keeps our minds from learning
Our minds keep learning

It's alright
It’s alright The things we laid
Do not amount to much
Made up of thought balloons
and cotton swabs
When present tense
Gets strangled in the woes
Made of our future foe scenarios

This revolution baby
Proves who you work for maybe
Who do you work for baby
And does it work for you lately

But when the night is over
And the walls keep linking
When fire starts to matter
And the clock still sinking
Clichés and other chatter
Keep our minds from thinking
Our minds keep thinking

It's alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

That's when it turned on me
A motorcade of 'meant to be's'
Parades of beauty queens
Where soft entwines make kindling
These many detailed things
Like broken nails and plastic rings
Will win by keeping me
From speaking to my new darling
And there's no way to know
Our future foe scenarios
That's when it turned on me
Where bobby pins hold angel wings

It's alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
