Squirrel vs. Snake

Ken Stringfellow, Jon Auer

Hoping legends stay that way (even away)
A failed William Tell in a private gambler's hell
Squirrel versus snake
It only hurts when I'm awake and all I can take
Is the sound of this empty room, I have assumed
All of my mistakes
The penalties were swift and just
I said you could trust me and I lied
Now I'm sentenced to be petrified
And I'm changing solid states

Wuh ohh, wuh ohh
You know, you know
That I am guided
Don't trust no god that says he needs to be relied on
Or a government that says I should be spied on
Telling me why I should keep holding on

I'm paralyzed from the waist up, it's never enough
To detach the track-backs from my latest dispatch
Paper versus match
I'm not afraid of the human race, I'm starting to brace
For meteor impacts, and oh, those collisions, of course
But history can't be forced

Wuh ohh, wuh ohh
They know, they know
That you're buying
The illusions to complete for you to leave it
Every advertisement needs you to believe it
Telling you why you should keep holding on

Blow by blow, they sell you sand from an empty hourglass

The road to heaven now is paved and Jesus has saved
The headline we all know for the holy half-time show
Turin versus shroud
And I'm speaking out loud and out-gunned as I'm quietly underwhelmed
Outnumbered slowly one-by-one
And hoping I'm less dumb

Wuh ohh, wuh ohh
They know, you know, they know
That you'll let them go

Don't need no god that tells me he should be relied on
Or a government that says I should be spied on
Telling me why I should keep holding on
I'm a furry, I'm a brony, I'm a breeder
I wasn't born to ever follow any leaders
Don't need nobody to tell me keep holding on
Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah
Don't need you to tell me I should keep holding on
Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
