Modern Vintage Lyrics

Send me to a new age

Read me from a new page

Tenfold, a centerfold

Lincoln lives! The reverend's old

Sickening, flickering, in the heat's got me cold and out of breath

Smoldering, scolding, sunshine soldiering's not for kids

Shattering, scattering, acid rain pattering, this whole world was made for you

Pushing, pulling, patriots schooling anyone who finds out something true

Perfectly free and out of time

'Tis of thee but 'tis not mine

Dead end streets alight by angst

Intellectual hunger pangs

Oh, oh yeah, yeah

Oh, ah ooo, ooo

Oh, oh yeah, yeah

Poverty's an age-old sin

Senator-saints are marching in

Drop their bombs, then win a Nobel

This place can be a fucking hard sell

Burning, turning, courts adjourning, slush funds fan the justice flame

Judicious mumbling, arrogant tumbling, fuck me Lord, accept my shame

House is down, bless the crown, holy honorific worshiping

Caressing, stressing, children are addressing desperate collective bargaining

People say it's worse out there

Then they throw away their lives for a little health care

Another voice of reason's what I really gotta hear

But you can't hear shit in an echo chamber

Oh, oh yeah, yeah

Oh, ah ooo, ooo

Oh, oh yeah, yeah

Ooo, I'm dying

Rather be red than dead
