Seven Seas

from Basement Songs by Teen Idle

/

lyrics

Tell me, would we be much better
In a foreign place where all the people
Speak a different language
Stockholm, Paris, Barcelona

Or would our old homeland
Throw out bait and reel us back to it
We’ll go swimming through the seven seas
And land where we began

In this place every day is a dark, twisted fable
To talking heads we lay in bed
With nothing to get us off
We look around the interweb
At places oh so far away
And fantasize that there we might
Live a life not on the dime

We’ve been holding out
For some American-sized miracle
‘Cause now college kids will get a loan
To which they sell their soul
And in four years, when they’re grown
They’ll sell everything they own

We could learn from different places
Take a page from Scandinavia
Where they go to school for free
And use wind as energy
Who is going to take the blame?
‘Cause something is rotten in the USA

In this place every day is a Grimm, twisted fable
To talking heads we lay in bed
With nothing to get us off
We look around the interweb
At places oh so far away
And fantasize that there we might
Live life on someone else’s dime
