Marine Tigers

(album: Always Foreign - 2017)

You walk around the old neighborhood
But your heart's not in it
Nonchalantly pointing out the coffee shop
You made your plans in
The jobs you have to do there

You walk around the new neighborhood
But your heart's not in it
To learn anymore about this country
The apartment you have to live in
They decided that we didn't fit the records that they hold
And we agreed to go

Following the hour's ending
We know we have to leave the building
We know we have to leave all the doors unlocked
We know we will not be the last
We know that they have got a plan too

A car for us to drive in
A box for us to die in
A vote for us to write in
An app we all confide in
Making money is horrible
And rotten institution

We're here
We're here
I told you so
I told you so

We're here
We're here
I told you so
I told you so
Like oil in an ocean
Like we loved that poison
Please remember as a person
It's the land that's always foreign

Can you still call it a country
If all the states are broken?
Can you still call it a business
If all you do is steal?
Came in on Marine Tigers
Or the boat Lorraine was named for
We huff and puff but nothing comes

There's nothing wrong with Jose
There's nothing wrong with Moses
There's nothing wrong with kindness
There's nothing wrong with knowing

We're here
I told you so
We're here
I told you so
We're here
I told you so
We're here
I told you so
