Public Life Lyrics by Joshua Lee Turner

Public Life

2020

Once I thought I’d move to Nashville
Where everyone’s better than me
And I’ve heard L.A. is nice this time of year
Before it breaks into the sea
You’ll see them dancing out at parties
Or drinking smoothies made of grass
And with my many teeth I can't help but smile
You know, a picture makes it last
And now the evening’s Hudson River
Or without glasses on, Monet
Oh lord, what kind of idiot
Would go to work this time of day?
You’ll see us dancing out at parties
And drinking smoothies made of grass
And with my many teeth I can't help but smile
You know, a picture makes it last
If this is the new religion
Then where does that leave me?
I’m a zealot and a hypocrite
Just like I’m supposed to be
And now I’m shopping for my groceries
And wondering what it’s like to die
And now I’m wondering if we ever will
When we’re all data in the sky?
You’ll see us dancing out at parties
And drinking smoothies made of grass
And with my many teeth I can't help but smile
You know, a picture makes it last
If this is the new religion
Then where does that leave me?
I’m a zealot and a hypocrite
Just like I’m supposed to be
If this is the new religion
Then where does that leave me?
I’m a zealot and a hypocrite
Just like I’ve been told to be
