lyrics

I had a dream we were seventeen
Ripping up the road in my very first car
Arcade fire on and brand name drinks in our hands

Back then the girls they dreamed of crockpots
And the boys dreamed of the bay
We dove deep to prove the point
So deep the point walked away

It left in a voice of hurt, a wave of pain
I turned the radio off, drove home in shame

Truth is red tape, and blood stains on curtains
Truth is red tape, the one thing worth burning

You heard my stomach growl from the passenger seat
And asked me if we need to stop and grab a bite
From some sharecropper’s boss’ franchise monger
They cash-cowed every road where I learned to ride my bike
Maybe one day someone will get me when I say
We don’t need no Chipotle in this damn town

What you make is your own
But your own’s not yours to keep
What you choose may be your choice
Are those choices really free

Truth is red tape and blood stains on curtains
Truth is red tape, the money your earning
Truth is red tape, that one way she’s hurting
Truth is red tape
the one thing worth burning down
