Desert from Cheaters' Rights by Cheaters' Rights

faux fur hats to cover our ears
we are so sincere, so self-aware
I move my hands, I move my mouth
I eat for the feeling, the habit

even the dumb stuff's already been said once or twice before

my friend called this 'ennui,' and that's how i learned
how en-you-i was actually pronounced
another friend told me that a resume is little more
than a conduit of fraud

you won't deserve whatever comes to you next
so let's keep those grocery lists from last week, they're a part of us now

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
YOU DON'T NEED TO
YOU DON'T GOTTA
SO WHY BOTHER
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
YOU DON'T NEED TO
YOU DON'T GOTTA
SO WHY BOTHER

I was obsessed with the idea of the city as a desert
as the sand washed over me, as the sand washed over me
I was obsessed with the idea of the city as a desert
