I don’t want solutions
All I want are distractions
I sometimes despair
Cause i cannot find distractions
The TV just bores me
All it can offer are distractions
But it's the best I got
The best things in life are distractions
I work all day and when the day is done
The football matches keep my head numb
I sure would love to help but it's just so hard
So I fall asleep with the TV on
We don’t want solutions
All we want are distractions

It's just not fair
The way I’m expected to care
The way people judge me for not helping them
I’m just one man
Not that I would help if I could
How is this my fault?
Don’t blame me
I’ve had problems too, y’know
But I didn’t seek any help
Even when really should have
I stood firm and stupid
You're probably exaggerating
I’ve heard that what you've gone through
is not that bad
Could have been worse
I just wanna live my life free of responsibility
I just wanna complain and not feel bad
Who cares? Fuck off!
We all have issues
There's no need to feel so entitled
I earned all this
Inherited
Each cent, each brick
There’s no way I’m going to
Lose, no way
Won’t change my ways
Never asked you
to be subject to abuse

What does the country want?
What do the people want?
What does a person want?
What do you want?
Shelter, safety, a line to be drawn
The sounds of gunshots
From dawn to dawn
So fuck the NRA
A thousand dead in your name
So fuck the NRA
Lives are lost, for profits gained

They won’t pay cause we lobbied against them
A few rainbow flags solves the problem
Nobody will ever know what we did to hurt them
Just smile, we’re their friend

Внимание.
There’s been an accident
But don’t worry we'll fix it right away
Внимание.
Smoke billows in the distance
The air starting to sting when we inhale
Внимание.
Please stay in your homes today
Helicopters circling above
внимание.
A bird just fell from the sky
It splattered on the pavement in front of me
I feel so weak
Suddenly
Collapse
In a heap on the ground
Call for help but everyone's running
Crawl to the base
Look for a medic
Look for signal on the radio
But the station is silent

You're just about to break but you're too proud to ask for aid
Your house is almost empty, you have sold all you bear to trade
Your life is only over once the debt is paid
The bills you get cut deeper than any blade
You foolishly hope its over once you're in your grave
but your life is only over once the debt is paid

Will
You
Turn that fucking noise off?
I don’t care if you have a permit or whatever
This gig is over
You artists are such leeches
It’s not like this is music
Some of us are trying to sleep
So what if it's 4 in the afternoon?
That doesn't mean I have no say
I’m friends with a cop so don’t you dare say no to me
And I know I'm not the only one who thinks like this
You’ll get shut down if you act up
Our little group has always been and always will until the end
We are the book burners club
You young people are all the same
Always going on and on about human rights abuses or whatever
How about you respect your elders?
Aren't we more important to you than those deadbeats?
And don’t you start talking about politics like you know anything
Always looking for a handout
I bet it’s those rappers that put those ideas in your head
Criminals, drug addicts, all of them!
We should ban all that shit from the radio
Ban everything that my child can't see
We are the protectors of culture, the people's choice, the one and only
We are the book burners club
