Obsessed With the Excess - Les Savy Fav
Catching whispers on the phone but the whispers get away
Making entries in our diaries
With all the things we think they say
Can you hear it
I can't hear it
Can you hear it
I can't hear it
Can you hear it
I can't hear it
Can you see it
I can't see it
Can you see it
I can't see it
Can you see it
We've been feeding the vermin
Now they're hanging around
Can't we take back the sermon
That we tossed to the crowd
Obsessed with the excess but stuffed with a crumb
The lessons progress less as professors succumb
They're craving confusion when starved of sense
And graven confusion has been heaven sent
I can't do it
Can you do it
I can't do it
Can you do it
I can't do it
This is the way the sick people play
Hands in their pockets goosebumps on display
This is the way the well people drink:
Mouths on spigots of the sick people's sink
In the town square
In the city hall
In the war room
On a conference call
They set the date to drop the bomb
And sit and wait with perfect calm
I wanna do it
I wanna do it
I wanna do it
If you call this living
If you call that love
If you'd call the cops before God above
If you'd call the cops before God below
If you call this culture
Then i think you'll know
The Stone cold con and the 6-6-6
We're trading our eyeballs in for
We're trading our idols in for rapprochement
We're burning the bridges that we're crossing on
