Lyrics Silversun Pickups – Future Foe Scenarios

The things we laid do not amount to much
Made of abandoned wood loose stones and such

This revolution baby
Proves who you work for lately

Release the castaways who run amok
From self appointed winds which blow and such
When present tense gets strangled in the mire
Made of our cozy decomposing wires

Who do you work for baby?
And does it work for you lately?

But when the night is over and the walls start burning
When fire starts to matter and the clock’s still churning
Clichés and other chatter keep our minds from
Learning
Our minds keep learning

It’s alright 2x

The things we laid do not amount to much
Made up of thought balloons and cotton swabs
When present tense gets strangled in the woes
Made of our future foe scenarios

This revolution maybe
Proves who you work for maybe?
Who do you work for baby?
And does it work for you lately?

But when the night is over and the walls start linking
When fire starts to matter and the clock’s still syncing
Clichés and other chatter keep our minds from thinking
Our minds keep thinking

It’s alright 4x

That’s when it turned on me

These many detailed things
Like broken nails and plastic rings
Will win by keeping me
From speaking to my new darling

And there’s no way to know
Our future foe scenarios
That’s when it turned on me
When bobby pins held angel wings

It’s alright 6x
