The (Shipped) Gold Standard

Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now But I'm no good at math and besides, the dollar is down Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old I wanna scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me You can only blame your problems on the world for so long Before it all becomes the same old song As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town And get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out now All the yes-men said "No comment" My mouth got going The wrong way, and all the calls started snowing The time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab And I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back I wanna scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me You can only blame your problems on the world for so long Before it all becomes the same old song As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town And get new passports, get out now Tell that boy I'll leave you alone, now Like a stove I'll turn my love down Supra and the prophet are both in the business of souls I wanna scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me, woah I wanna scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me You can only blame your problems on the world for so long Before it all becomes the same old song As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town And get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out Get, get, get, get, get out now
