lyrics

Took all the gold from your teeth man
How’d you think that you could keep it
Sunrise every weekend
Knot in your chest starts creeping

And there not much
To do now
Aint got the tools then you better have the know how
Jean jackets stuffed with the debts we owe
Where your rose tinted kaleidoscope

And there not much
To do here
Spent all our paycheck on some sushi and some cheap beer
Two hundred thousand just to read some prose
Wheres your rose tinted kaleidoscope

Where’s your rose tinted kaleidoscope and
Where’s your rose tinted kaleidoscope

Shook off some clothes on a monday
Hoping that ticket wasn’t one way
And forty hours leave me someway
That twenty extra still don’t pay

And there not much
To do now
Aint got the tools then you better have the know how
Nine percent’s a boot on the throat
Still got my rose tinted kaleidoscope

And there not much
To do here
Spent all our paycheck on some sushi and some cheap beer
Two hundred thousand just to recite some poems
Wheres your rose tinted kaleidoscope

Where’s your rose tinted kaleidoscope and
Where’s your rose tinted kaleidoscope

Pinch our pennies while you bleed us dry
Question the price and say we should work nights
When the view from your crib hasn’t changed your whole life
You think all that you see is yours and your right

And there not much
To do now
Aint got the tools then you better have the know how
Jean jackets stuffed with the debts we owe
Where your rose tinted kaleidoscope

And there not much
To do here
Spent all our paycheck on some sushi and some cheap beer
Two hundred thousand just to read some prose
Wheres your rose tinted kaleidoscope
