Lyrics
The Plains
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.
It's boring, they don't tell you that
Wait
It's all they ever say
It's hard to watch nothing change
It's impossible how slowly things fade
No one complains
Wait
It's all we ever do
It's hard to get used to feeling useful
When you never get over feeling used
I like it here, on the plains
From what I see on my TV
There isn't any point in being free
When there's nowhere else
You'd rather be
