Do you know what love is?
Where did you really learn it?
Was it when you were a child
and your parents tried to burn it?
Do you know what love is?
Can you even prove it?
Be careful with your answer
If it’s wrong, you’re bound to lose it.
Do you know how
to have a really good time?
Without wanting another hit
of dopamine inside your mind
Do you know why nothing
seems to make any sense?
Why politicians and preachers
have army regiments?
It took an Ozark hippie singing
about their blatant lies
technopagan reds and bugs
everything alive must die
It took a lot of years to find that
no one really cares
except your mama if your lucky
when she’s here not there
Jesse told me “When the war gets here,
we’re gonna all get on the level
everybody looks a little bit nicer
when you finally meet the devil”
Jesse asked me, “did i want to know a secret?”
I said yes, now I’m tellin’ you
The river is just laughing
And we’re only passing through.
