Sour Puss

Shut down the factories, the ports, the railroad yards, 

but please grant us clemency 

we’ll change it all soon as we see

convenience is our enemy, manipulated luxury

but waking up is so hard

Tear down, start again

American lungs breathe out, breathe in

bright minds in bright children

build it up and absolve our sins

dad says he’s a union man but the blade’s hanging over his head

waking up is so hard

baby please have faith in me

better times are coming soon

we’ll fill our pockets and hit the road

better times are coming soon

waking up is so hard
