Goth punk hillbilly angel, keepin the fire alive
Won't you book us at some dive, goth punk hillbilly angel?
There is nothing I would rather do than stand up here and play my songs for you
It's like therapy but it's free and never ends
This here gal, she's been around and she understands our sound
It's not what the kids today prefer - I don't know what we'd do without friends like her
She's our goth punk hillbilly angel, keepin the fire alive
Won't you book us at some dive, goth punk hillbilly angel?
Now all of you get it, yeah you grew up buying LPs with your hard-earned money
And for those of you who were the pioneers, my hat's off to you
It's pretty cool there's still a scene... up on the swamp, the grass is green
You might've seen Poly Styrene way back when
If Katrina was there too, you'd have known, cuz she's a 10
She's our goth punk hillbilly angel.
The guitar isn't dead, I don't care what they say
They just never learned to play, and they don't have a goth punk hillbilly angel

Econoline is rattling, loaded up with pals and foes I didn't know I had Chicago on to Canada
Conversation barriers... best friend status on DL
I spring for the gas and the clerk steals my data
I go left and they go straight... I'm gonna have to break away
Gonna get what I want out of it, this trip.
Yes, I'm in love with her. Well, that makes two of us.
I told the other guy he's got to give it up
I got misty in Niagara Falls, coffee in Montreal
Croissants in Quebec
So lost in my thoughts. I get lost in my thoughts.
I'm a loser on vacay, you think I've got nothing to say but I'm gonna get what I want out of it, this trip.

Almost Dead

Why do I struggle with time no matter how hard I try?
I'm at work, I'm in bed
In between hours get blurred
Life is good, they put it on a shirt
Well I don't want your chain store tee
I only want more time to write and play
I'm almost dead - why can't i get ahead?
Well there's album three to record
Girls on Grass cannot get bored
There are DJs to be floored
But I will always have to pay
You wanna live here, toil away
Yeah they'll work us til we turn to powder
No I don't want your transit money
I only want more time to write and play
I'm almost dead - why can't I get ahead?

Don't Buy It

Advertising in my face twenty-four hours a day... don't buy it
You could be so happy in the right SUV... don't buy it
Youtuber teens and war machines - this ain't the right economy
"Land of the free" and "home of the brave"... don't buy it
You ever seen a race of people so afraid?
We want instead reparations paid, mutual aid, capitalism fade
Land of the guns yeah, squat of the weak... don't buy it
We can't escape that history
This is the zombie apocalypse... Hieronymus, you were right
Saw it coming, except it's hell on earth
It was totally avoidable
Advertising in my face twenty-four hours a day... don't buy it
You'll fall asleep happy in your new condominium
They work us like we're dogs
Our taxes adding up
It goes to pay the cops
