lyrics

All my friends like hangin' out.
They go to clubs and parties.
I know a guy who almost died
Stifling a scream.

They call him

James the elder,
Cuz we don't ever wanna be like him.
He gets me so down whenever
I lose my faith in a bottle of gin.

Give me anything that doesn't have
An American label
Take your body anywhere
Close your eyes
Keep your mind in the North.

My brother, he says,
Will drink anything that makes him sick
But I feed it back to him
When the money's passed the nation's lips.

Careless
All of us
Careless.
Careless
All of us
Careless.

My brother, he says,
Will drink anything that makes him sick
But I feed it back to him
When the money's passed the nation's lips.

Eventually you'll stop caring about
Your teeth and the anxiety
Dims and then it disappears
Touch your tongue
To the molars at the back of your mouth.

They slope into your gums
As a river bank erodes and falls.
You will come to accept this
Checking a watch wound for a lifetime.

Endless
All of us
Endless.
Hopeless
All of us
Careless.

They slope into your gums
As a river bank erodes and falls.
You will come to accept this
Checking a watch wound for a lifetime.

James the elder,
Cuz we don't ever wanna be like him.
He gets me so down whenever
I lose my faith in a bottle of gin.
