American Landfill Kings - Sam Phillips

How did we find ourselves

Living on top of the things

That we don’t want any more

Screaming while we cover our ears

We can’t see ahead

And we won’t see behind us

Praying that the true-false truth

Won’t find us

They’re building their dreams

The American landfill kings

The American

Landfill

Kings

We die with a palace of junk

That can’t find its rest in the ground

Like a body or a dying rose

Crowning ourselves with lies

Giving, letting go

Unpossessing to unbind us

Open hands, open hearts

Every moment to remind us

But they’re building their dreams

The American landfill kings

The American

Landfill

Kings

Where will we live?

When they’ve conquered the earth

And the wild dies

Where will we live?

They’re building their dreams

The American landfill kings

The American

Landfill

Kings
