lyrics

WEAPONIZED MILKSHAKES
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

Wish I could dip my hands into the flow
strain the mud and separate
the pyrite from the gold
and only pull the worthy and the holy into my boat
but we're all drinking weaponized milkshakes now
and setting fire to the road

This is my sand, this is my line this is where I'm from
my gadgets are getting smart
while my arguments are getting dumb
I get confused now between nutmeg and yellow cake uranium
but we're politicizing poultry
in a game that's zero sum

Always swinging for the fences
always sweating the little things
everybody ran on stage
and there's nobody in the wings

I'm just a guy with with a guitar and a somewhat tender ear
I won't pretend
I have any answers here
All can do it is relay what I fear
like we've driven off the cliff
still arguing about who gets to steer

They say Scipio wept as he sowed salt
because he knew
every Empire must fall
Earth and time conspire against every wall
so between milkshakes and oblivion
there's a place for us all

we're safe in bed tonight
but I think there's something coming up the hall

I'll see you later, mom
I'm going to hang out at the mall
