You and this Terrible Place

wait to see if the light turns green
while the windshield leaks on the bag of chinese
your house is stuck in between two streets
i guess i'll try to park in the first spot i see
there are no sidewalks here only stunted trees
oh living around concrete
lock the doors lock up everything
pretend we live with thieves
for all you know it could be me
old and new made a contract to lie a charming truth
that the world cares to see
the people on it's skin living safe and free
oh, living securely
no matter how much you say
it's a small price to pay
no matter how you think now
it's till your feet get on the ground
no matter how well you lie
it's still a compromise
everytime
that the bays form a hopeless maze
your information begs for the days of no days
and the cars all speed up and bark
i ask where the fuck we are
holding hands we're amazed
that everybody here wants us to be saved
oh, living in last days
why wouldn't i stay with you and this terrible place?
