Death Ships Lyrics by Building Better Bombs

Freak Out Squares

2009

[Chorus]
We live dilapidated
We got a lot of shit to work out
We catch a lot of static
We tell 'em back up
Life so underrated
They're sick of living with the lights out
But we'd rather be sedated
We tell 'em back up
[Verse]
People are fawful. Godlike and all powerful
Yet they can't seem to see that there's no way they'll fucking make it
Find some way to choke and break it
Those aren't just clouds in the sky
No, they're deathships on a joyride
And they're on our side
[Chorus]
We live so separated
We got a lot of shit to work out
Yeah we catch a lot of static
We tell me back off
Life so underrated
They're sick of living with the lights out
But we'd rather be sedated
We tell 'em back up
[Verse]
People pulling from their backs then slip in their tracks
'cuz streets are covered up in their bleeding
If you think life is Disney, you're dreaming
Those birds aren't singing, they're screaming
And those aren't just clouds in the sky
Those are deathships on a joy ride
And they're on our size
[Outro]
There's more of us alive than have ever lived or ever died
This was always coming, just didn't see the warning signs
