The Execution Of All Things

Rilo Kiley · The Execution Of All Things [2002]

Soldiers come quickly, I feel the earth beneath my feet

I'm feeling badly, it's not an attempt at decency

And if you're well off, well then I'm happy some for you

But I'd rather not celebrate my defeat and humiliation here with you



Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out

Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out

Bring with you history and make your hard earned feast

Then we'll go to Omaha, to work and exploit the booming music scene

And humility



And we've been talking all night...



Oh god come quickly, for the execution of all things

Let's start with the bears and the air and mountains rivers and streams

Then we'll murder what matters to you

And move on to your neighbors and kids

Crush all hopes of happiness with disease cause of what you did



And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep

But sleep never comes to you

It's the guilt and forever wakefulness of the weak

It's just you and me....



The execution of all things

The execution of all things

The execution of all things
