Fermented And Flailing
NOFX · The Longest Ep [2010]
Not true, this kind of is a test of our endurance.
There's really no one left to place the blame on and hang in at the tee
This ones not relived by a regime, it also took a hundred million
Of angry, stupid, scared, pathetic populace to complete the deed.
And it's a long, long way down
And there's no climbing back so wave buh-bye
And it's a long, long free dive,
So fill your lungs with air and grab a weight.
It's been a long time coming and well deserved.
It's time to redefine what we call neighborhoods
And start to trust your neighbors.
Circle the figurative wagons and figure it's gonna be
A long painful de-evolution that could last for decades
America as we know it is finished,
Fermenting and flailing.
And it's a long, long way down.
The parachutes are gone so grab a smoke.
And it's a long, long free fall.
No signs of soft landing b-bon voyage.
It's been a long time coming and well deserved.
