How to Turn a Slow Boil into a Quick Burn

from Shame a Politician by Eric Blowtorch

/

lyrics

Microchips taking us over
Some action is necessary
The kids crave action
and we get it week after week

When will you understand
they did not kill that plant with too much love?
You killed it with too little
When will you understand?

When will you understand, you thick-skulled twit?
When will you understand you cannot love too much?

One day, I swear to G_d,
a better time, the jobs not all run out,
the love not so far away,
and me together

OK, Blowtorch not meant to thrive
Instead a match thrown out into the gutter
Pathetic, alone
How you gonna pay the rent?

You know you shoulda thought about that
on your way out of my good graces
You shoulda thought about that
I guess you screwed up
