Easy/Lucky/Free - Bright Eyes

Did it all get real?

I guess it’s real enough

They got refrigerators full of blood

Another century spent pointing guns

At anything that moves

Sometimes I worry that I’ve lost the plot

My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts

I never really dreamed of heaven much

Until we put him in the ground

But it’s all I’m doing now

Listening for patterns in the sound

Of an endless static sea

But once the satellite’s deceased

It blows like garbage through the streets

Of the night sky to infinity

But don’t you weep

(Don't you weep for them)

Don’t you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is nothing as lucky

Honey, don’t you weep

(Don't you weep for them)

Don’t you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is nothing as lucky

As easy

Or free

Don’t be a criminal in this police state

You’d better shop and eat and procreate

You’ve got vacation days, then you might escape

To a condo on the coast

I set my watch to the atomic clock

I hear the crowd count down until the bomb gets dropped

I always figured there’d be time enough

I never let it get me down

But I can’t help it now

Looking for faces in the clouds

I’ve got some friends I barely see

But we’re all planning to meet

We’ll lay in bags as dead as leaves

All together for eternity

But don’t you weep

(Don't you weep for us)

Don’t you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is no one as lucky

Honey, don’t you weep

(Don't you weep for us)

Don’t you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is nothing as lucky

As easy

Or free

Or free

Or free

Or free

There is nothing

There’s nothing

There’s nothing
