Straight Shooter Lyrics

Oh I'm sick

Sicker than I used to be

And there's fire where there's smoke to see

And I don't look great

I got pills

Lining up my dresser drawers

My head aches and my body's sore

But I'm still awake

Cause I can

Watch television from my computer

Tell myself that I'm a straight shooter

And feel sorry for myself all day

Cause you know that it's so easy

Float down the river, lost in the stream

Wishing it all would just go away

I'm just one

Red-blooded American

Swimming round in this game of sin

But do I have to play?

And I'm here

Putting in the time I guess

Running hard and losing rest

It's hard to say goodnight

Cause I can

Watch television from my computer

Tell myself that I'm a straight shooter

And feel sorry for myself all day

Cause you know that it's so easy

Float down the river, lost in the stream

Wishing it all would just go away

Rain is coming down hard

Our boots stuck in the mud

Hands to be covered in blood

Well what's it gonna take?

Out of time

Swimming in our summer sweat

Gotta try and we ain't started yet

Cause ain't it sad?

We're all fucked

Rainforest is coming down

Trying not to be the first to drown

Cause it's too late

Cause we can

Watch television from our computers

Tell ourselves we're all straight shooters

And feel sorry for ourselves all day

Cause you know that it's so easy

Float down the river, lost in the stream

Wishing it all would just go away

And soon it all will just go away
