Dirty Projectors

That's A Lifestyle

Who will stop wasting the lives of the brave

Based on a lie?

Who will stop wasting the forest and seas?

We know what will survive

Who will stop wasting the time?

Who will stop putting quarters upon on our eyes?

Who will not place himself higher than we

For a senator's prize?

We wander out wild-eyed

Kinda drunk and kinda high

We know what for and why

That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle

'Cause the monster eats its young

Till they're gone, gone, gone

And the rules are there to hurt

And that's the way it's done

Yeah, the monster eats its young

Till they're gone, gone, gone

Till it's satisfied and done

It wants blood, blood, blood

Who could look up from the numbers and say

"Something ain't right"?

Who could disrupt the abundance and pray

Not for weight but for light?

How could we risk the empire

As the apprentice descends into seasons of idol

When our old, white Lincoln encrypted and high

Sputters down from the sky

Red-eyed in July, weeping glycol?

We shout out loud, megaphone

Kinda zoned but listening in

We browse our own episodes

That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle

'Cause the monster eats its young

Till they're gone, gone, gone

And the rules are there to hurt

And that's the way it's done

And the monster eats its young

Till they're gone, gone, gone

Till it's satisfied and done

It wants blood, blood, blood

That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle

That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle

When the predator dips out from the haze

Who knows the prize?

When the words mercy and justice are raised

Members only apply

When will we count all the signs?

When will we finally not let fear weaponize?

When will the courage to breathe and let breathe

Assure the land will survive?

'Cause the monster eats its young

Till they're gone, gone, gone

And the rules are there to hurt

And that's the way it's done

Yeah, the monster eats its young

Till they're gone, gone, gone

Till it's satisfied and done

It wants blood, blood, blood

That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle

That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle
