Across the Sea

from /// by Young///Savage

lyrics

I'm a starving child across the sea
Out of sight, out of mind, you will never hear me
I've got a heart like yours thumping inside my chest
and dream in alleyway darkness in pursuit of happiness
I've got a thunder belly full of invisible things
You've got a kitchen pantry full of food that is spoiling

Nowadays, those presidential papers don't mean shit
Your gold standard? It came and went
So you invest and buy up shares as you see fit
But will it be your dignity or your money
that your recklessness will spend?

I am a private school student, I am in grade 3
My momma drives me to school so I arrive safely
I unwrap toys every year next to electric trees
You should come to my birthday party, we invited some ponies!
I don't care where its from, I just expect what I get
I heard my parents yelling once about problems they call debt

I am a ninety year-old man who fought in Normandy
I still have nightmares about cross-hairs keeping track of me.
No love or lust, No wants or needs
The slightest scratch leads to bleeding
