Gridlock Hill Lyrics

They sit up there on Gridlock Hill, in their ivory towers

Dead elephant in the room

While down below, you know Uncle Vinny's still on the ventilator

And his third-shift nurse, her relief can never come too soon

It's a strange sensation

When the hypernormalisation makes us think we can't see the difference between the wheat and the chaff

But I did the math on a broken abacus

Crunched some numbers with alabaster knuckles

Only to find the bottom line expired sometime in late July

Well, I…

I'd do it for you

Will you do it for me?

We hate to see you go

And now I hate to say it's so: We're not messin' around

How I hate to say it's so: We're not messin' around

So, now the insurance company's calling to say

The payment on your premium's due today

And if you can't get it to 'em, well, hmm… too bad

For a minute there, you thought they might actually care

'Cause you recall seeing on their site somewhere a message about how they're opposed to racism, and all that

It's a strange sensation

When that brutal wave of mutilation crashes a little bit harder and a whole lot longer each year

We feel the fear, as a reckoning approaches

The line is severed, and the net's eroded

So who will hold it, when the wheel is frozen and the captain's too stoned to notice it?

Well, I'd do it for you

Will you do it for me?

We hate to see you go

And now I hate to say it's so: We're not messin' around

How I hate to say it's so: We're not messin' around

I'd do it for you

Will you do it for me?

We hate to see you go

And now I hate to say it's so: We're not messin' around

How I hate to say it's so: We're not messin' around
