i’ve been in rural parts of the Midwest and beyond
i’ve been the reflection to southern Canada
i can take you on the ultimate adventure
take you way beyond what you imagine ever
in the land of meth and money
blood on the floor of the libraries
charcoal aluminum foil
crinkled like bowls on the floor
i can’t stand it, i can’t stand it
i can’t stand it for myself
i can’t stand it, i can’t stand it
i can’t stand up for myself
the smell of dead leaves in the rain
in melted sleet on the roads
emptying into the drains
i’ve been deep in the hearts of trailer parks
i’ve been deep in the ‘burbs
and i can tell you how vicious they growl
how they gnaw down on the bone
in the land of meth and money
blood on the floor of the libraries
charcoal aluminum foil
crinkled like bowls on the floor
in the land of meth and money
blood on the floor of the libraries
charcoal aluminum foil
crinkled like bowls on the floor
and i can’t stand it
i can’t stand it, i can’t stand it for myself
i can’t stand it, i can’t stand it
i can’t stand up for myself
in land of meth and money
meth and money
meth and money
