Rook Falco - Soul Eater

★ Verse ★
Lenore floated off sniffing the trail outside
The American Spirit must be calling her
I’m listening to this stupid guy
When I’d rather be biting the curb

He’s sipping on promethazine
Said that soon he’s gonna work on his health
He only calls me when he’s in-between
She told me “have some respect for yourself”

(She said) He wants to sleep with me
(Uh huh) I want to kill myself

★ Chorus ★
You get used to it
Between the spikes they put on your favorite place to sit
You get used to it
Yeah, we make minimum wage
But we can still get Percocet

I know
She gave up trying to pay off her student loans
I know
I cry in my car every night when I drive home
We got used to it
★ Verse ★
We made it up to the square
Sat in front of the church
Out comes a woman with a Bible and a vape in her purse

She said her daughter’s never seen a firefly
She won’t remember snow
Now that every truck company makes toddler compressors
And all the frogs are starting to croak

After Boeing realized you can’t blow a whistle
If you run out of breath
Taylor’s dual wielding two cancer missiles
They’ll say we all choked to death

Then after all she said
We shared a cigarette

★ Chorus ★
You get used to it
Between the spikes they put where your grandma to sit
You get used to it
Yeah, they can save your life
But it’ll cost you an arm and a leg

I know
We bury our kids before they get the chance to grow
I know
We let our mothers die with their fingers worked to the bone
We got used to it
She said
Uh huh
Uh huh
She said
Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh
She said

★ Verse ★
After we left, we heard about some neo-fascist freaks
Beating students again
She wondered why the cops didn’t do anything
I’m pretty sure that was them

For the rest of us, you just need a phone
To see limp bodies of three year olds
They send stuffed animals on mortar strikes
And somehow it still gets sold

★ Bridge ★
“This is America
We’ll give you loads of guns
Take out the enemy
We’ll make another one”
“We want to know your side!”
I’m anti-genocide
“So anti-Israel?”
I guess that either’s fine
“This is America
We’ll send you loads of funds
Go blow up Palestine
We’ll just make another one”
Joe says it’s ‘justified’
It’s just a genocide
“Anti-American”
If you can draw the line
★ Refrain ★
You get used to it
You get used to it
You get used to it (get used to it)
We get used to it
We get used to it
We got used to it

★ Outro ★
End of the night, we got on the train
She asked me if I wanna get stoned
I tapped the window when it started to rain
They closed the Barnes & Noble back home
