about
"monster movie all the time" is a phrase the main character says in Sherman Alexie's short story 'Cry Cry Cry'
lyrics
I was in a monster movie all the time
Couldn't sleep at night, couldn't quiet my mind
A girl named America carried me away
Hypocrisy was in her fucking DNA
Land of the zombie
Land of the free
Land of the middle America Walmart queen
You can buy the president
You can buy soap
Everything's for sale
Democracy's a joke
And there ain't no love in this town no
There ain't no love in this town no
And the dreams go tomb to-tomb to-tomb tomb
The bass goes boom bo-boom bo-boom boom
The dreams go tomb to-tomb to-tomb tomb
The bass goes boom bo-boom bo-boom boom
CIA coup d'etat, Guantamo Bay
War is an industry in the USA
Got money prisons but not a living wage
The police state looking like the new KKK
Nothing new, been backwards since 1492
Been backwards since genocide founded red, white and blue
This white supremacy is a cancer, this white supremacy is a cancer
Get it while it's hot, shop till you drop
It's not what you give, it's what got
Gun shots in a parking lot
I was so angry I became monster
I was so lonely I became ghost
Mama was a TV, papa was a beer
Land of the happy meal, city of fear
And get me out of this place ooo oo o
Ain't no love in this place ooo oo o
And the dreams go tomb to-tomb to-tomb tomb
The bass goes boom bo-boom bo-boom boom
The dreams go tomb to-tomb to-tomb tomb
The bass goes boom bo-boom bo-boom boom
I was in a cartoon nightmare marathon
The whole world looked like it was upside down
All the politicians were stupid clowns
Be careful who you move with there are vampires in this town
They want you to doubt yourself, wrong place wrong time
They want you to quiet down, out of sight out of mind
You got to be strong like Tubman in the night
You can turn water into beer if you play your cards right
Universe the size of a quiet kid's mind
American meritocracy is a lie
Pressure and heat make diamonds
This world turned you into a diamond
Baby I'm trying to heal, but it's not a science
You my other me like Aesop's mouse and the lion
Life is a bath and I'm drowning in it
Life is a bath and I'm drowning in it
And the dreams go tomb to-tomb to-tomb tomb
The bass goes boom bo-boom bo-boom boom
The dreams go tomb to-tomb to-tomb tomb
The bass goes boom bo-boom bo-boom boom
