The Grownup Noise - Strawmen lyrics

rate me

Seeing in double the saints play your tune

Dreams of your maker they fall in on you

Stuck in a show and leaning on the ropes,

With sucker punches we didn't throw

Pushin the air between my busted teeth

What could you do, he studied your every move

Now your feet they're slipping on the rules

While the drunk and the cowards run down the avenue

Stuck in the age of strawmen

Drinking the spills of history

And how they're gonna shake him

And how they're gonna break him in two

Radio cues and all the static news

It drifts like winter, with no heat on

Playing your part and now the stock's on you

Down in the first you knocked him through the roof

And the crowd they wandered with defeat on

Quick in disguise they ran down the avenue

Stuck in the age of strawmen

Drinking the spills of history

And how they're gonna shake him

And how they're gonna break him
