Brothers Grim Lyrics

A plague

A plague of onyx snakes

Beset our house one day

Terrariums of our mistakes

Bedsets where serpents wait

Hey man, did you hear the shots ring out

Oh man, I didn’t hear a thing

A dirtnap in the carpark

Where they spilled that gasoline

That we huffed and huffed

For days and weeks

When no one did a thing

I didn’t see a thing, man

But I think that he saw me

And I’d double-bolt the door

Except we had to kick it in

It’s just another tale of mystery

From the Brothers fucking Grim

Another tragic ending

From the Brothers fucking Grim

How high'd we get last night

Oh man, I don’t recall a thing

These days all bleed together

In an incandescent haze

Superstrings sound better

Than they ever did before

So go up and up

Come down and down

Every day’s a fucking bore

And I’d sell drugs to make ends meet

But my friends are all dealing

It’s just another trail we lost sight of

The Brothers fucking Grim

Another hollow lesson

From the Brothers fucking Grim

A plague! A plague

Oh, fuck’s sake

We dance macabre

At our own wake

Gonna move it to the city

Gonna use up my ambition

Gonna make it in the city

Gonna get some new addictions

The future glows suspended in a place where kids can flee

But if everybody’s running out there, is it still the place to be

Living...

If you wanna call it that and I suggest you don’t

If you wanna call it that and I suspect you won’t

Generation debt

Educated death

In a world of idiots

Tell me, what’s the point of this

Grandmother Wolf showed up here unannounced

And tore this place apart

What kind of life is this, is this a life at all

What kind of life is this, is this a life at all

Where’d my money go

I don’t know

I got my check two days ago

This shit dissolves in burning palms

Was it even there at all

I curse myself and my mistakes

But I know just who to blame

Hell racks up a double-rent

And charges for the flames

And I’m so fucking hungry

I could eat my fucking hand

It’s just another fucking nightmare

From the Brothers fucking Grim

Another fucking nightmare

From the Brothers fucking Grim

The truth is worse than fiction

From the Brothers fucking Grim
