Intro: (2x)
Nothin ever changes; is that really your name?
What s it mean, what s the context, could you explain?
I don t mean to be an asshole, I don t mean to complain
But is that all we ve given ya?
I see no point in turning all this worry to shame
There ain t no need to point the finger; I got no one else to blame
Talk of secession has never been so plain
But is that all that we ve said here?
The kids are on fire; I m just sat back tendin the flames
And we re just circlin round the critical drain
- -
Big-time intuition in a tiny little brain
Spoutin out thoughts about doubts and jealousy and pain
Open-ended questions and the ones they contain
Did it all go to hell in a day, kid?
Consider this my condition
On the ashes of the funerary pyre
Would you still have me surrender my lyre?
I m only askin cause it seems like you wanna say
That we re just circlin round the critical drain
- -
Consider this my audition
For that little jazz combo in the sky
If I m not there yet, I ll tell you why
I m too busy defiling the American songbook s name
And we re just circlin round the critical drain
Yeah, we re just circlin round the critical drain
Yeah, we re just circlin round the critical drain
