100 Years of Solitude

All around you slow decay

Wanna feel the sun of the new day

Forget the chances that you lost

Shedding innocence like falling dust

All the things you learned too young

The songs you knew but you never sung

You waited a long time, you wasted more

Forgotten what you waited for

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude

Feels like 100 years of solitude

But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay

And you can listen or just walk away

No solutions built to last

Just your petty scores to settle fast

The N M E meant nothing to you

And the maker, well the maker of who

Your Walkman generation

In search of sweet sedation

While forests choke under a 'lever sky

And the Exxon birds will never fly

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude

Feels like 100 years of solitude

But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay

And you can listen or just walk away

We tried, we cried, we fell, we lied

This life's like one white knuckle ride

Crack babies born too young

And L.A. kids who will dance to the gun

Forget this so called dirt of mine

It's just the dust and diesel of the passing time

It's all around you it's a tragedy, look

So forget the cover just read the book

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude

Feels like 100 years of solitude

But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay

And you can listen or just walk away
