deadpan - sidewalks lyrics

[verse 1]
hometown incomplete, no sidewalks
just a bunch of contiguous white homes with a lawn sign that says
back the blue, paisan, bygones
can’t let ‘em be, no cement for the cemetery
dead and buried in the serengeti
h-ll is ready, rejects sleep next
to the rubble
get resetti in a huddle
game off when it’s game on
my crosswalk is faceoff between a deft machete and a bubble
not even really a thing
there’s nowhere to walk; good luck if you sing
pizzeria, laundromat habitat
all that happens is gaudy fascism
-ssault to the cardiac, need a reason to counteract
lack of direction and p-ssionless pestering
sequestered with pad and pen since there’s nowhere to go
with no sidewalks

[chorus]
where to go with no sidewalks? uh
keep the route in my mind
marching on the line
no sidewalks, uh
route in my mind but no marching on the side

[verse 2]
one foot behind the next, you’ll find a step to climb to death
wrong way
hey, no cement on a sunday
i’m trying to find the winding path to downtrodden hiding spots
from cops’ and bandits’ gr-ssy plots
don’t step on a blade of césped
or you’ll make your mother’s deathbed
no sidewalks, no concrete for the tombstone or the group home
nowhere to stroll, nowhere to skip
nowhere to grow old, nowhere to trip

[bridge]
tired of having nowhere to go
sick of tip-toeing over blue dirt roads
i know the day they pave the way out of here isn’t close
so i’ll make the sidewalk on my own

[verse 3]
f-ck being complacent ‘til i find my footing again
foot on the gas, crooked and cr-ss
looking to p-ss f-ckers on dirt roads
mud, water or gr-ss
pulling ahead, they won’t jackhammer sh-t
parents never taught me how to sit
laying down squares in a pinch
skip to the rhythm of my own aorta
h–rding bricks, and slabs, and quarters
‘til the liquid drips and hardens
and encrypts the fascist coroners
for heaven sakes, motherf-cker, i’m k!lling sh-t
was stuck with no path out, so now i’m building it
sidewalks
