lyrics

I am lying
On my back, on the street, in an earthquake
On my bed, on the sheets, in a heat-wave
I am trying to sleep through the hot night
I am trying to live through the end times

And there is smoke over Oregon now
And there is smoke over Colorado
There is smoke across the Western plains
And there is smoke in every breath we take

And I know you don't need reminded.
I know you don't need reminded.

While I am standing in the pharmacy
Or I'm out to get my groceries
Another shooting. I see the news update:
Seven dead. We do this every day.
And I know you don't need reminded.

But there is smoke beneath the vitriol
And there is smoke over our Capitol
And there is smoke across the Senate floor
And we all know that it can get much worse

And I know you don't need reminded.
Well, I hope we won't be reminded.

But how are you? How are you?
How are you? How are you?

I am fine.
As everything around me dies,
I am fine.

I am lying
On my bed on the sheets in a heat-wave
I am trying to sleep through the hot night
Every day I've been fighting to survive
I am trying to live through the end times

And there is smoke over Oregon now
(I don't wanna see this place dry up)
And there is smoke over Colorado
(But they're never gonna get serious)
And there is smoke across the Western plains
(And I'm sick of watching fools justify)
And there is smoke, and it's blowing our way.
(While they waste the rest of our precious time.)

And I know you don't need reminded.
(And this whole nation's going under
Gerrymanders, filibusters
We keep asking you for change
You only answer to your funders.)

I know you don't need reminded.
(I know you have been paid
And I'm not trying to persuade you
Just want future archaeologists
To know that we all hate you.)

But how are you? How are you?
(At the moment, there's no difference.)
How are you? How are you?
(At the the moment I really couldn't tell you.)
How are you? How are you?
(At the moment, it's irrelevant.)
How are you? How are you?
(At the moment--do I really have to say it?)

I am fine.
As everything around me dies
I am fine. I am here.
Watching everything I know disappear.
I am here. I am here.
