The (Shipped) Gold Standard

Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now

But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down

Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold

I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long

Before it all becomes the same old song

As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town

And get new passports and get get get get get out now

All the Yes men said 'no comment'

My mouth got going the wrong way and all the calls started snowing

The time my dad caught me a horse shoe crab

And I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long

Before it all becomes the same old song

As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town

And get new passports, get out now

Tell that boy I'll leave you alone now

Like a stove, I'll turn my love down

Supra and the prophet are both in the business of souls

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long

Before it all becomes the same old song

As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town

(know we're gonna leave this town)

And get new passports and get get get get get out,

Get get get get get out now!
