Pick up the Pieces - Cursive

So, this is it

The world just fell to shit

And we’re left holding the bag

What do we do

With refuse we refuse

That no one’s taking credit for

This civil war ain’t civil anymore

They thrive when we’re divided hordes

Pick up the pieces one more time

Wash our hands of our parent’s crimes

Pick up the pieces

'Til we’re clean of pesky, guilty feelings

Pick it up

We’re back again

With the same arguments

All thoughts and prayers, no action

It’s all a fix

They’re sticking to the script

And we’re the rote recipients

They need dissent to run the show

More bullet points, more bullet holes

Pick up the pieces one more time

They shit the bed, we apologize

Pick up the pieces yet again

It makes no difference

But we can’t give in

It’s a game we know we can’t win

They know it too

But they need participants

Lest we think the news is new

We’ve been on a loop

They’re just tightening the noose

Pick up the pieces, give a fuck

This world’s a turd to polish up

Pick up the pieces

We’re the yin, the yang

It’s all the same

Okay
