lyrics

A breath of air against the wind
won’t make no difference.
You fucked up bad and now you’re here.
Go ahead and kick at the air— Air,

we need you now to sing.
But air won’t turn your arms to wings.
I gotta say the obvious thing
cuz you clearly didn’t hear it the first time.

A shame for all the time you waste.
Even rats in a cage keep pace.
The jet fuel’s gone off in your face.
My child, it’s time to awake—

aches and pains will come your way.
The night will always turn to day.
I know that’s dumb and obvious to say,
but you clearly didn’t hear it the first time.

Share your gold when you’re the king,
and when you’re beggin’ burn an offering.
I always say the obvious thing
cuz you clearly didn’t hear me,
clearly didn’t hear me, no you
clearly didn’t hear me the first time.
