Well the sun is coming through the window 
And it's barely blocking out 
That devil on the screen who's telling us 
Who we gotta be 
I guess we should be thankful 
For some things we'll never see 
Just fade to black 
Roll the credits 
Don't bother yourself with this 

During free time I am at work 
When I'm dreaming I am working 
Cause wherever I am, guitar in hand 
That's when I'm on the clock 
When the landlords come around 
We'll make sure no one ever knows 
About that secret on four legs we share 
Ain't she our best friend 

The farmer's pulling crops one day and 
He's getting ready to sell 
But the general's here to low ball you 
Back into the ground 
Don't worry it's just a puff of smoke 
It'll get you to the market 
And right on through the gates of hell 
To get you what you need 

Images flicker overhead 
It's a mighty fine evening 
To start cracking your crustacean skin 
And smile at yourself 
Well I know the local newsboy and he 
Stutters all the time 
It's you and me and the devil on the screen 
Looking for a normal life 

There's a family there across the grass 
I can see their house from here 
There's a man with a truck and sawdust hands 
He's building something up 
The next few weeks I drive on by and 
Underneath that tree 
Is a picnic bench and a pile of dust 
And a couple silhouettes 

Now all my friends do what they can 
They work with what they got 
Cause at the end of the day gray hair is here 
Reaping what we sow 
The Dust Bowl hero comes to work 
He wants to till more soil 
But the young folk stay like prairie grassroots 
Dancing in the rain 

So don't let 'em tell you to be thankful 
For their history 
Cause everything they got was taken 
As spoils from someone's death 
So let's make our art and plant our feet 
Firmly in the ground 
And make the best of getting by 
Turn pain into community 
And shove this life back in their face 
And we'll shove it and 

We'll wait for the dust bowl to just blow over 
Cause it ain't so simple living simple anymore
