Lyrics The Tragically Hip – World Container
Text:
There’s a world container with your name on it
And a billion ways to go berserk
When the country quits on you it must be dinner
And the Himmler on this one is there’s no dessert
He’s the one who couldn’t imagine
All the people living life in peace
Good news, you get to vanish
Go to Cleveland, be an indie smash
The good news is now you’re smaller
The bad news is you can be smaller than that
Go suck some souls, be a reader, get used
Laugh at a funeral or two
Laugh and laugh till all the chameleons turn black
Laugh and laugh till you’re told, «Please don’t come back»
Then fake incredulous, say, «I just can’t believe
How’d it get this late so early?»
Say, «Ain’t life a grand» and, «I’m in awe of you all»
Then drop into your haunted bunk
Go to your touchless times, out where the water’s drying
Go past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
What you’ll find there are all flaws in progress
Where all songs are one song and that song is Don’t Forget
Yeah, all songs are one song and that song is Don’t Forget
Yeah, I’ve faked incredulous, said, «I just can’t believe
How’d it get this late so early?»
Said, «Ain’t life a grand» and, «I’m in awe of you all»
I’ve dropped into my haunted bunk
Been to the touchless times, out where the water’s drying
Been past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
What we have here are all flaws in progress
Where all songs are one song and that song is Don’t Forget
Where all songs are one song and that song is Don’t Forget
