Joey Cape - Memoirs And Landmines Lyrics

All that I know, things are going slow
And we cannot forgo life on death row
And I'll miss you

Hail to the chief, abusing his control
He could never weep
He lost his soul to his ego

All that we've faced slowly being erased
These memoirs have no dates
It seems like such a waste

Memoirs and landmines
I remember where I'm from
Still fresh in my mind
I remember where I'm from

So you sit in a fire tonight
Revolution without music, music without life
And away you go, goodbye
Degenerated sound bite echoes to the end of the meaningless life

I remember where I'm from
Cartoons and creatures
I remember where I'm from
Unworthy teachers
I remember where I'm from

Straight through the stop signs
I remember where I'm from
Why am I driving home?

All that I know
Slowly being erased
These memoirs have no dates
It seems like such a waste
