lyrics

I dreamt that I could be a Citizen United.
I woke to apathy, my vote left unrequited
I left the house today to see the country sinking
My kid won’t talk to me because she hates the way I’m thinking

What do I do when she cries that she’s different?
Even when she smiles her eyes are distant

Good morning meth-amphetamine, a chemical routine
Prescribe a bright and dreaded scene to keep their conscience clean
Good morning Mr. President I can’t get through the day
The truth is never evident when children act this way

I prayed that I would be a friend she could confide in
I gave a room to her, some walls that she could hide in
I gave my God to her, a blessed house she could reside in
I gave my love to her and then she cried into my shoulder

How near is my darling angel to dying?
How near is my darling angel to dying?

I was the father of a nation undivided.
I dreamt that I could be a citizen united.

The Distractions Connecticut

The Distractions are a post-industrial-sludge-ska-metal-punk-flies-on-shit type o' deal. If you play your cards right, you might just figure out what that means some day, kid. We don't play your average dilly-dally rock and roll bullspit. We play that real dilly-dally rock and roll bullspit. And remember, don't leave the oven on!
Love,
Dad
