Can't put the beer back in the bottle
Can't put the dumb back in your mouth
Can't win a race by only going full throttle
Can't wreck the shop then build a house
We're all braced for all the greatness yet to come
We're all living in a new America
Can't win a war with childish language
Can't win a war by shifiting blame
Can't win new friends by picking up the damage
See the only way to win is not to play
Hide your skin, hide your daughters, hide your guns
We're all living in a new America
We tried, we failed
But you'll find we're so much worse at giving up
Sleep once, sleep once
We'll be coming for your new America
Can't drain a swamp by digging deeper
Can't save the world and burn it down
Can't have all three: there's better, faster, cheaper
Can't tame the lions by sending in the clowns
Hide your caps, hide your ribbons, hide your guns
We'll be coming for your new America

The Monster

I could go sober but I'd miss the drink
I could be still but then I'd have to think
About everything I've said and done
Can I love the monster I've become
With all the ways I've found to stunt my growth
And the emotions that I've learned to choke
All the empty acts of sabotage
Every smile I wore as camoflauge
And all the time the truth was in my grasp
But there were questions that I couldn't ask
How could I expect for anyone
To stay and love the monster I've become
And there were times I tried to mend that rift
But I love to smell a burning bridge
How could I expect for anyone
To stay and love the monster I've become
I could go sober but I'd miss the drink
I could go sober

Paul Tabachneck New York
I started doing music in Pittsburgh, fronting the folk-rock band Stone Soup, the dark-pop band Dead Pressed Flowers, and the Power Pop band Manpig aka Everybody Wins. After that, I moved to New York, mostly playing solo and busking a lot. Now I live in CT and play in my home office because everything is bad and no one can go out. See me Wednesdays at 7:30 at facebook.com/paultab! ... more
