The "I'm Busy Helping Other People" Riff

from Still Life by The New Warden

/

lyrics

This star next to my nametag doesn't mean a thing to me
I'm just a smile and a nod
With elbow grease and youth decreased
jammed into place a jigsaw piece
a big fish in a shrinking sea

Keep in mind this kind of shit, it happens all the time
and if we ever tow the line, it's because there's no one but us
and if this sinking ship prevails in showing that we are worthless
oh, heaven, help us all

When it's time for the piper to get paid
you give me the wink and the gun, let me dig my basement grave
My paperless curse may be my saving grace,
if I can detach my heart
from the tribes of my summer faith

Keep in mind this kind of shit, it happens all the time
and if we ever tow the line, it's because there's no one but us
and if this sinking ship prevails in showing that we are worthless
oh, heaven, help us all

Heaven help us

When it's my time I'll leave them in better hands than mine
