lyrics

KAYFABE

just couldn’t do it
living the american dream
i didn’t write it
i read it in a magazine

i tried to make it
ran away when i turned eighteen
i couldn’t cut it
losing all the hope i’d seen

truth is dead they said
running out of gasoline
driving till the end of the night
wake me on the i-19 and call the government

can’t fake the breakdown american
kayfabe is the way now
can’t fake the breakdown american
kayfabe’s whatcha say now

i started running
but i don’t really know what for
i saw it coming
but who knew this was what’s in store
i heard em yelling
louder than a victor’s roar
i’m feeling anxious
like nothing ever felt before

boarded up main street
only in the USA
driving on route 66
living in the new decay and call the government

going going gone american way

Found this through my poor Spotify trying desperately to find what I might like to listen to. Not at all my normal type of music but it actually made me stop and listen. Delightful from beginning to end. It's gone onto my DAP to become part of my normal rotation of music. vonvanna
