butcher jobs
& butchered bodies
app economies
out of scale
just last week
a fig tree fell
in los angeles
maybe one day there'll be a permanent outage
& the real disruption will come
your turn to be nothing
your turn to be no one
in a busy Caracas steakhouse
in a blackout or under a stolen sun
a stolen sun stolen from the poor
hard times hitting hardest in the hurt
all alone in lonely dirt
no bright morning stars for belle
just last week
a fig tree fell
in los angeles
might be nice to know
what al green means when he sings
give it everything
before it becomes time to go
dead luke perry staying dead
& an end of the world that keeps on coming

Al Green - Give It Everything Lyrics
Love, what about the things you want?
What about the things you need
Versus the things you don't have?
You should have all of this world's desires
All of this world's entire bounty and beautiful love
The stars and the moon and the birds soar real soon
You should have all the things that you need
Give it everything, all the world to bring
If you believe in something, you go to give it everything
Love, there's no time to waste
There's no life to take
Believers don't have to make haste
Oh no, but, ‽I love youâ€
Are more than just some sweet words
‽I love youâ€, are the sweetest words I ever heard
One thing about I can't explain
That you are the world to me
When you're sure you love me
Show you love tenderly
The stars and the moon and the birds soar real soon
You should have all the things that you need
Give it everything, all the world to bring
If you believe in something, you go to give it everything
Why should settle for second best
When you haven't tasted all the rest
Listen to me, listen to my request
You should have all the things you want, the things you need
All of the things your mind can conceive
The stars and the moon and the birds soar real soon
You should have all the things that you need
Give it everything, all the world to bring
If you believe in something, you go to give it everything
