lyrics

it's right where I left you
hands shoved deep in your pea coat pockets, pacing
a frying egg on your forehead, I hear it pop and sizzle
and should that runny yoke bleed in your eyes
your dull eyes, a gentle brown, will ignite green with ire
and can you hide, we'll see

so play nice

it's right where I left you
neck-deep in your propaganda popup
jotting down recipes to force-feed these godless children
their hungry little mouths are gaping wide
as they await your bitter cake with icing piled two feet high
spit it out
I wanna scream but I'll bite my tongue
cuz I'm the king of we'll see

I'll play nice

now baby be real let's not pretend you don't ok
the way we were raised, were taught in school
to hold these harlots to the flame, to feel no shame
just look nice

it's right where you left me
guarding a heap of tokens at your arcade
whacking myriad mole men to win that flimsy spider ring
but who just cashed in for my giant panda bear
the jackpot siren sounds, I'm screaming "unfair"
there are times that you have to choose
this fortune's ours to share and yours to lose
so play it safe, play nice

now baby be real it's hard to look the other way
when spite's abound, weighing us down
designed in jeans, our DNA
we must pay to play nice

play nice

The group's 2012 debut LP, Thanks Anyway, features story songs steeped in nostalgia, dramatic and unapologetic tempo fluctuations, a hint of musical theatre, and even a foray into the most-likely-completely-misunderstood world of dubstep. ... more
