So Says I Lyrics - Chutes Too Narrow - The Shins

An address to the golden door 

I was strumming on a stone again 

Pulling from the pimps of gore 

When hatched a tragic opera in my mind 

And it told of a new design 

In which every soul is duty bound 

To uphold all the statues of boredom, therein lies 

The fatal of the red age 

'Cause it was nothing like we'd ever dreamt 

Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated 

And because it made no money 

Nobody saved no one's life this time

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So we burned all our uniforms 

And let nature take its course again 

And the big ones just eat all the little ones 

That sends us back to the drawing board 

In our darkest hours, we have all asked for some angel to come 

Sprinkle his dust all around 

But all our crying voices, they can't turn it around 

You've had some crazy conversations of your own 

We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs 

But we still can't just behave ourselves 

Even if to save our own lives 

So says I, we are a brutal kind

'Cause this is nothing like we'd ever dreamt 

Tell Sir Thomas More we've got another failed attempt 

'Cause if it makes them money 

They might just give you life this time
