lyrics

Life’s been weird for a couple of years
I don’t want to grow up, but here I am
Dropped out of college
Never saw that one coming
Living paycheck to paycheck
Just good enough for nothing
We always need more
Than we can get.

I can’t afford the food that feeds
Deep down to our tingly toes

Half my money goes to the government
The other half to my bills
A quarter for food, and a quarter for gas
Never knew what it was like to be poor
but now I know what it means
To really need something
That’s just beyond my reach

Running behind on laundry and groceries
Running behind on everything I need to do
and I’m getting my sleep, yeah
but I am too tired to care
That my sheets aren’t on the bed

I know I need to try this hard
To take care of myself
I know I need to crash this hard
When I fuck up at work
I know I need to love so sweetly
and love my job with absolution

I need this to be over soon
It’s time
To drop the ball for good
Let’s move
To the farm
and feed the hand that feeds
We’ll be shepherds of the Earth

Golden grasses of bread and beer
Barren skies and stripes of light
Awkward dirt with a hidden past
The holy water’s bittersweet blast

When the day’s work is the day’s play
Nobody will be in a hurry

Hello, nice to meet you! We are March of the Ant, and we play music to fall in love. Our genre is poem rock, which means that the lyrics are written as stream-of-consciousness poems, and the instrumentals are written to change with the rhythm and feel of the lyrics. Let us know if we make you feel something :) ... more
