about

This track, like all the others on this record, is about the death of the alpha male and how he is on the wrong side of history. It is both a critique but also sympathetic, I guess. While not sympathizing with his ideals, it is terrifying for anyone to realize just how wrong they've been and discovering they've run out of allies.

lyrics

ou searched for me in the desert and You made it rain i praised the Lord for the weather. You didn’t complain

Shower me with praise and glory i drink it up like chocolate milk, I wear Tattered robes and cheap jewelry
And you tell me they’re silk

She could do better
But why would I let her?

I came to you with my problems
You fixed them all in a day
Kept me from harm like a firewall
Or just let me get my way?
Cause you know I get uptight, I get uptight
You can’t do anything right
It's always the same
You're always to blame
You never complain

She could do better
But why would I let her?

Time is a vine that has to be climbed in all weather. She may not truly be mine but I’m still feeling fine so why the fuck would I let her. Why would I let her. Let her know?

That I I I I I I cant do better,
And I I I I I I will never tell her,
Oh yeah I I I I I I I cant do better,
So why would I?
