Ruderals - Shelf Life Lyrics



Ruderals - Shelf Life Lyrics




Your house was built by knocking down somebody else's home for the wood
Your iPhone was made and now it's sold where whole communities once stood
But you only care about those things the TV says you should
Cuz that's your world
And every good consumer is also a consumer good
Your house was built by knocking down somebody else's home for the wood
Your TV was made and now it's sold where whole communities once stood
But you only care about those things that Buzzfeed says you should
Cuz that's our world
And every good consumer is also a consumer good
Now you're living that shelf life

Is this a life or something else?
Cold plastic heaven or sick flaccid hell?
I'm still waiting on the same old results
Kept my finger on that old bleeding pulse
Where the trees long fell, and the magic dispelled
Now our manic fortune tells
Of the impending shelf life

Bubble wrap, waiting rooms, law enforcement, cable news
Ballot boxes, storage space, clearance aisles, fire safes
Economics, diplomacy, marital status, democracy
Journalism, foreign trade, organic produce
Band-Aids

This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
The wish to dismiss is far more intuitive than the credit we give
And there is no true love when we don't so much live as we hold our love captive
When you remember the violence required to sustain every operative
Then you cannot forgive, you cannot forgive, you cannot forgive, you cannot forgive

I am just a bystander in this new global nation
But like every domestic casualty, I'm also a federal agent

This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
The wish to dismiss is far more intuitive than the credit we give
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
The wish to dismiss is far more intuitive than the credit we give

This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
