Big Wave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Living your life in the gray
Is the new American way
Are you a ghost or a credit card slave?
And you save your money in good faith
And you work hard for your living wage
But lately, have they seen our faces?
Because the dream's a lie
And the snake, it bit you
When you were awake
And the books don't lie
You are bankrupting
Because of all the loans you take
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you in a big wave
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you in a big wave
I can't sleep these days
And my blues, they won't go away
But there are these little red pills I been taking
And my doctor, she says that they're safe
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake
And waking up in the water
And the feeling's a lie
Because the snake, it bit me
When I wasn't awake
And the scripts, they lie
I have been poisoned because
All the things I take
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you in a big wave
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you in a big wave
I know you feel deprived
(But you don't touch me)
All of us still alive
(But you don't fuck me)
It's really just that I don't feel
Like doing it these days
And my love's a lie
Because the snake, he visits me
When you are away
And your dreams don't lie
I have been corrupted
Because of all the lovers I take
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you in a big wave
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you in a big wave
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you in a big wave
