Power Plant

from Heavy Manners by Sick Sick Birds

lyrics

man says before you get to talking, you better check your options; the line runs the same route every time; a lot of people got a lot of nerve
to ask for more than they deserve; out of pocket and out of line

you've got to stand up without standing out; stand up you can stand a little sting; and the thugs demand humility and if you just hold your tongue you know; and you'll get the message, you will; you get used to anything.

the rise and fade of the summer sounds of a far off radio; sunday drivers get the right of way; a good deal for the likes of you; still good for a burn or two; but the water feels good today.

as tight-lipped as you can and there's room for every man; the water's always warm at the beach near the powerplant; channel the sun and lock it in.

everyone's hanging around by the sunbaked tires; next crowd's coming in;
ankle deep in mud and clay where all the old ghosts gave up their say because the water feels so good; and in some other place and time, you'll have the will to bleed 'em dry, but it's not gonna be today.

quit stirring up the uncles now and keep your lips shut tight; and alkaline twinges can't stop the sunday binges, because the water feels so good.
