Gentleman Nation from Gentleman Nation by DOLLAR STORE

The way this water flows
Seems as if it’s over
Gasping at the oxygen
That’s passing right in front of him
Two ears with nothing in between
East and West where we see, hear and feel
We drink before the toast
Even when the wine is gone
Nothing that lives will last
He cannot wait until its gone
All the sunsets are manmade
They’re much prettier that way

Every drop drained til the ground caves in
He takes and he takes, and we tag along with him
Making flags with shells of false belief
That this gentleman stands on his own two feet
Love ourselves into loneliness
We speak as if some drug can bring it back
Eyes burning as his fingers take
His engines roar crying for their fuel
Nothing that lives will last
He cannot wait until it’s gone
All the sunsets are manmade
They’re much prettier that way
From the start it was never meant to be great
He cannot wait until it’s gone
Everything that lives won’t last
Never to be seen again
