*Criminals And Lawsuits

Criminals...

   --And lawsuits



They call it news

   --Like it was something new





Burn this old hat

   With the evening post



Sit through the setting sun

   And watch the fire grow





Beware the riptides

In the seas

   Of life

Suffocating, swirling down

   They'll take you from the light  



They'll waste away

   They'll worry away your time



They're wasting away

   Worrying away our time





Celebrity...

   --Such a big to-do



They call it news

   No matter what they do





Breathe...

   Cut the hardline



Destroy the mainframe...

.

.

We'll still be fine





Bury the silicone

   With all the souls

Sold for dollar bills,

   And through this swamp of starstruck shit

Raze the mountains made from molehills



Cause they're wasting away

   They're worrying away our time



Yeah they're wasting away

   Worrying away our time



There's just So much time

   Set your worries aside

   Nobody's got much time

So pay no mind



Cause they're wasting away

   They're worrying away our time



They're just wasting away,

   They're worrying away our Lives

On the heels of 'All We're Missing Now', I was playing poker one evening with some friends and the news came on.  I don't think they even bothered with a cheery public interest piece that night.
