The crisis is inside us
And all around
Everyone's got a friend on drugs
In this fucking town
Tell me where's that future
That they keep talking about
My life just ricochets, yeah
It still ain't hit the ground
I just want to know
If it's going to change
The faces at the bus stop
Just waiting on the rain
And music's just like makeup
Painted on the day
I know it don't mean nothing
But I just want to say
The crisis is inside us
And all around
Went to school and spent all that money
But I might as well have dropped out
By twenty-five I thought I'd have
Figured it out
But the truth just ricochets, yeah
It still ain't hit the ground
The cops rolled by
And I wrote my name
In the cold blue light
That the sirens sprayed
On the ground
Who we'll be
And where we'll stay
No one knows
But we're on our way
The crisis is inside us
And all around
The sky opens up every night
And the rain keeps falling out
All I hear is doomsday
But it won't take us down
We might ricochet, but
We still ain't hit the ground
