This week’s song: Gangs by Do Nothing

LYRICS

We’re all back together at last
Every dog that runs off comes on back
Oh, this is what America wants
Even I tried a bit of it when I was younger
Oh that’s it

We’re all back together at last
After all this it has to be that
And would you shut up for once in your life

Wait a minute, this isn’t my house

I finally collapse and they send the new boy to go through my pockets
But I don’t mind, I had my day in the sun
Those guys are sharp as nails up there
Oh, the taste of absolute zero is bad on my tongue

Now it’s all just “nothing honey!”
And hiding secret magazines in a cardboard box
I phone home fast to get a hold of my provider
I eat every single thing I own and then catch fire

You say “Play nice on the steps”
Don’t go forming any gangs
No one’s gonna get up from their chair for that
You’re saying that you’ll call me back

But I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it
I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it

I get a little brave and forget about the house edge
The manager looks me right in the eye and beats his chest
Even I tried a bit of it when I was younger
Leave people in the dark long enough and they’re bound to start fucking each other
That’s it

We’re all back together at last
After all this it has to be that
And would you shut up for once in your life?

I get into trouble and wake up with a bruise that looks like a map of the incident
And I say ehhh “The spring is wound up, it’ll uncoil by itself”
Those guys are sharp as nails up there
Oh, the least little turn of the wrist will get the job done

So it’s “don’t breathe on the art”
And keeping your eyes down
The rest is automatic and all of a sudden I’m back at the beginning
Like “who can eat at a time like this, people are missing”

You say “Play nice on the steps”
Don’t go forming any gangs
No one’s gonna get up from their chair for that
You’re saying that you’ll call me back

I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it
I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it
