Johnny Hobo and The Freight Trains
Skimming Bakunin
[Intro]
I hope I never get well
[Verse 1]
My nation curdled around me
I didn't even take off my headphones
My government betrayed me
So I laughed at home and smoked a bowl
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere between a concentration camp
And a Hallmark gift card
Somewhere between a ceasefire and a declaration of war
Somewhere along the line, Big Brother got supersized
But Johnny Ashcroft's lookin' out for us so we'll be fine
[Chorus]
And I can't even call myself an anarchist anymore
As the t-shirts line the shelves at the department store
Makes me wish I was a Neo-Nazi prick
Because at least they don't sell swastikas at Hot Topic
[Verse 2]
I stepped out onto the street
An early Camus of their patriotic joy
I felt like Meursault then
Not sorry, more like annoyed
[Chorus]
And I can't even call myself an anarchist anymore
As the t-shirts line the shelves at the department store
Makes me wish I was a Neo-Nazi prick
Because at least they don't sell swastikas at Hot Topic
[Verse 3]
I stepped off of the train and crimethink filled my lungs
Naïve enough in that moment to believe that I'm free and young
'Cause as I climb the bricks of the fallen wall to the cement yard
I didn't have to worry about foreign tanks occupying my backyard
[Chorus]
And I can't even call myself an anarchist anymore
As the t-shirts line the shelves at the department store
Makes me wish I was a Neo-Nazi prick
Because at least they don't sell swastikas at Hot Topic
