well i'm tired and sad and i get that way
every time i leave the house these days
there's a nauseated feeling that's decided to settle itself
in the base of my ribcage
and sometimes it feels like the only thing keeping me going
is sitcoms on netflix
and the thought of going to school and getting a job
keeps making me physically sick
i just wanna live out the rest of my days
in a brick house out in the country
and me and my friends have a say in the way that it's run
and the people who live there are just like me
and we'll fly our flags from the rooftop
of our brick house up on the hilltop
and i'll never have to talk to anyone i hate ever again
we'll make it from scratch
when we run out into the wilderness
we'll take our bricks and concrete
and we'll build it up
for the roof we'll use sheet metal
for the windows we'll use recycled bottles
and in a three foot square patch left of the front foor
i'm gonna grow carrots
i just wanna live out the rest of my days
in a brick house out in the country
and me and my friends have a say in the way that it's run
and the people who live there are just like me
and we'll fly our flags from the rooftop
of our brick house up on the hilltop
and i'll never have to talk to anyone i hate ever again
we'll get away from all the talk
i'll plant my feet on a little walk
and we'll drink from the river
and we'll eat from the garden
love ourselves and our bodies
and we'll refuse to harm them
and we'll read books and watch movies
by people who are good
and try their hardest to put good into the world
and we'll cross the borders, won't follow orders
i'll pick you up, not put you down
and i hope that you will do the same for me
i just wanna live out the rest of my days
in a brick house out in the country
and me and my friends have a say in the way that it's run
and the people who live there are just like me
and we'll fly our flags from the rooftop
of our brick house up on the hilltop
and i'll never have to talk to anyone i hate ever again
