Jenny's Birthday

Put the lights up today
i know it's early
usually wait til after jenny's birthday
but i couldnt wait
it's just empty trains
where nobody's allowed to remain
there's a pit downtown
and they're never gonna fill it in
anyway
we used to have the best lights on the street
back when nobody lived there
we'd walk around on december 14
and feel so superior

its december now
20 percent off
thanksgiving has come and gone
halloween stuff is still up
and i forgot to buy nothing
it's fuckin raining now

cheers to the calendar year
and my sister's birthday woah
i don't mince words, least not right now
christmas decorations in the pit downtown
build up buildings and burn them down
christmas decorations in the pit downtown woah

I'm putting my life on the line
I'm putting my life on the goddamn line for you
don't tell me santa doesn't exist
cause you're the one who still believes that a system based on infinite growth is sustainable
i can't compete with the wheels
i can;t compete with the wheels that are turning
i thought i'd acclimatize
though i'd get used to falling through cracks that are not
spose to be in a so-called land of opportunity
maybe i'll get hurt, or join the army
or take out a student loan, whatever that'd get me
...I don't take it personally
I thought I would get used to the
class war inherent in christmas miracles

Take It Easy

I don't know much about it cause the books are hard to read
i hold my eyes open cause it's so hard to read
I'll phone to wish you well on the 25th
everything will all work out unless I work myself to death
not coming home
this year
not ready the holiday
off limits, go places anyway
not itching for a novelty
take it easy
if i give it up
this time
or if it all works out
well that's fine
