lyrics
Oh I am destroyer of worlds if you leave it all up to me, baby
I find myself inside your home, I’ll find my way back out again.
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
Listen to a book on tape
To recreate my story
Rearrange my room again
And reinvent myself
And eat the goop the gurus want to feed me, feed me, feed me
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
Custom ergonomic, telescoping, battery powered walking cane
It’s the latest, greatest in technological applications and revelations
That will cure anxiety and help you reach your kids again
Meanwhile there’s fields on fire and swarms in Africa
People dying from a lack of food, which we throw away
Meatgrinder of poverty, and churning out the plastic trinkets
We use to fill the oceans and destroy the land
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
Weakened, you leave me weakened
Because it’s a sadder day than yesterday, baby
