You were almost worth dying for
And no one is worth dying for
But that's the soul I'm looking for
You were almost worth dying for

You're a hungry hungry hetero
Inhaling all the weeds for the sake of
For the sake of looking free
You're a smack-dab heavy-looking warrior
Carrying a gun for the sake of
For the sake of looking like
The TV gods on the radio
Which is poisoning the waves
On the brink of flooding us
Flooding us with messages like
Wake up
Wake up
The poison is sleep
There's a reason why no one
Remembers the spine-shaking dreams

You were almost worth dying for
And no one is worth dying for
But that's the soul I'm looking for
You were almost worth dying for
