The (Shipped) Gold Standard

Sometimes I wanna quit this song and become an accountant now

But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar here's down

Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold

I gotta feel the windchill again before I get old



I wanna scream, "I love you," from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me



You can only blame your problems on my words for so long

Before it all becomes the same old song

As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town

And get new passports and get get get get get out now



All the yes men said "No comment,"

My mouth got going the wrong way

And all the calls started snowing

The time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab

And I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back



I wanna scream, "I love you," from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me



You can only blame your problems on my words for so long

Before it all becomes the same old song

As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town

And get new passports, get out now



Tell that boy I'll leave you alone now

Like a stove I'll turn my love down

Supra and the prophet are both in the business of souls



I wanna scream, "I love you," from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

I wanna scream, "I love you," from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me



You can only blame your problems on my world for so long

Before it all becomes the same old song

As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town

And get new passports and get get get get get out

Get get get get get out now
