N.C.
Sun sun sun burn down on me
Atop this hill so I can see
My skin boils red and scabs and stings
But I must be witness to everything
B
Fan the fire or face the crowd
N.C.
California's burning down
Sitting in the middle of the sixth extinction
Silently suggesting the investment in a generator

I looked for freedom and I found it on the highway

No other options so I'm peeling out the driveway

Sing those brand new ABCs

I want so badly to be liked

I ask myself, "Why was I nice?"

I ask myself, "What should I do?"

My country served me horror coke

My natural freedom up in smoke

My pre-polluted fetus lead us

Into the obscene, I mean

I'm on a desert island and I ate up all the coral

I was so hungry but I know that isn't normal, oh no

But my behavior isn't anything but moral
So unhappy!

ABC!

I called you up because we had a great connection

You couldn't hear me ‘cause of NSA protection
