Propagandhi - Unscripted Moment lyrics

rate me

We describe the sensation

as a tearing in our chests

and there is a quality

in Feiburg's father's

post-war wail that reaches

through the world's worst speakers

and beseeches

anyone who happens by,

on their way to somewhere else -

clicking through the endless screens

for the garbage on the shelves

reflections of ourselves -

to consider the cost

of all this shit we seem to think

will fill our perforated souls.

We're more hole than human being,

can't wash away that stink.

13 billion years in the making:

a live, unfiltered moment.

An unscripted encroachment

upon the province of routine evil -

of all-too-human people.

So pious, so peaceful.

So quick to turn on you.

Thought I was fucking outta here

with two middle fingers in the air.

Then like a mile-wide meteor,

he came crashing through my door.

That's just how it goes.

And everybody knows

ain't too much can be done.

All the avarice and greed

and puny human hatreds

that dare to come between two human hearts.

I try not to live in fear

and I'm truly grateful

for every happy moment here.

Upstairs I hear her voice

she softly singing

to him and I come undone.

Something wicked this way comes.

And that's just how it goes

and everybody knows

ain't too much can be done.
