lyrics
Didn’t we grow up?
To be just like the others
Didn’t we learn?
To hate our own brothers
We were so sure we’d be different
We bet our lives on innocence
Oh innocence I remember you
And idealistic dream come true
And if we were subtly abused
It didn’t matter
Cause we were different
Didn’t we learn cold and calculation?
Didn’t we learn the mottos of this nation?
That we were so sure was different
We bet our lives on honesty
Oh honesty do you remember me
The legends of a cut down tree
An agreement just to disagree
It didn’t matter that we were different
And we learn from the best politicians
To blur the lines between truth and fiction
And we can justify our lies, hate and addiction
We bet our lives on frailty
Oh frailty I believe in you
Keep the weak beneath our shoes
As if there’s nothing else to do
That matters
Cause they’re all
Different
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
