I really don't know what to call it
Not sure what it's all about
I didn't take the subscription
But it was free when it first came out
The manifestation of forever
The lustrum is quite enough
Misunderstandable missive
To make me an example of
I'd go to my local library, but my local library's closed
That's just a sign of the times, I suppose
That's just a sign of the times, I guess
To me it looks more like
A hot mess.
We need to know what's getting them down
The private army of the ward
The pungency of g-forces
Never knowingly underscored
Commemorated in the granite
The dust gathers on the plaque
Reassembling of the masses
The precious few are turning back
Self-administered CPR as a reward for bravery
That's just a sign of the times, maybe
That's just a sign of the times, I guess
To me it looks more like
A hot mess.
Tell the table
Tell the door
Tell the door
Tell the seagulls
Tell the seagulls
They ought to name a storm after you
Spilling stones and tearing down wires
There's drivers in the debris
Washed away like rust and petty liars
If life is in the essence, I'll order it to go
That's just a sign of the times, I know
That's just a sign of the times, I guess
To me it looks more like
A hot mess.
