[Verse 1]

Things are looking sideways, I'm being realistic

They're choking off the highways and stringing up the Mystic

It's nothing like the old days, caresses turn sadistic

'Cause things are looking sideways, the pig ain't got no lipstick

[Chorus 1]

Bridges breaking, high heat, earth quaking

Superhero flaking out

Scream time? Numbin' our minds waste rising

Nowhere to be taken now

[Verse 2]

You know you can't pretend

Unless your worshipping a fiction

We're running on film, you better look behind the diction

All the politics are cracked up, you gotta gun it through the yеllow

Now it's all about the jacked up, whatevеr happened to the mellow

[Chorus 2]

Big guns, more meat, high heat, our headphones

Drowning out the common sound

AR-15, I mean, waste rising

Sick and home, the buried route

[Bridge]

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama never told me

Never, never told me there'd be days like this

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama never told me

Never told me there'd be days like this

[Verse 3]

I know I'm sounding like an old man, to only be complaining

I should be setting up my fruit stand

And see the sun instead of raining

We're through the thick and thin now, looking for the clover

It's deeper than the skin now, the fantasy is over

[Outro]

Really things are looking sideways

What happened to the romance

It's nothing like the school days

Don't nobody wanna slow dance
