Lyrics

There is this thing that’s like touching, except you don’t touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world’s history gradually dieing of shock
There is this thing that’s like talking, except you don’t talk
You sing
You sing
Sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor, sing
Sing for the cameras, sing for the animals, sing
Sing for the children, shooting the children, sing
Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn’t sing
Just sing
There is this keeping everyone’s lungs and lips locked
It is called fear and it’s seeing a great renaissance
But after the show, you cannot sing whenever you want to
But for now, let’s pretend that we’re all gonna get found
So sing
Sing cause it’s obvious, sing for the astronauts, sing
Sing for the president, sing for the terrorist, sing
Sing for the bregaiders, sing for the painters, yeah, sing
Oh and sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing
Just sing
Life is no cabaret
We don’t don’t care what you say
We’re inviting you anyway
You mother fucker, you sing something!
You mother fucker, you sing something!
And I miss you. You seem so far away
I want to hold you in my arms
