nathan asher and the infantry - overpopulated lyrics

[intro]
sitting on the balcony with sweet melinda
watching the neighbors through their next+door window
she puts her hand on the side of my knee
bird rises up from the sycamore tree
out in the distance, i can hear footsteps

[chorus]
where are we going, i don’t know
where are we headed, is it best
is it a long ride ahead
or are we there yet
overpopulated, underestimated
what are we waiting for
how long havе we been waiting

[verse 2]
how do we begin again
cut it off and fеnce it in again
these mexicans keep crowding us
we’ll have to k!ll more indians
melinda, pull over, the gas station’s open
the wild west is closing, i won’t go out there sober

casinos caged the last remaining traces of the gold rush
we go roamin’ holdin’ cell phones chasing gold dust
’till we wake up in old age homes on the coast
the road less traveled is the ploy most quoted
written on a postcard in a state park in the deserts
higher than ache
and ache
next, we drain the great lakes
[chorus]
where are we going, i don’t know
where are we headed, is it best
is it a long ride ahead
or are we there yet
overpopulated, underestimated
what are we waiting for
how long have we been waiting

[verse 3]
is it day or is it night out
is that light or is it lightning
are we hanging out, are you beside me
if you’re beside me now, who’s driving?

[bridge]
birds fly through the air
my thoughts go i know not where
“everybody get your motherf+ckin’ hands up” dj screams
sugar kids pop lids and dance beside the lit+up screen

i’ve followed you from the womb
to be tied up in darkened rooms
if vampires track us down
i’ll wait for your body overground
[chorus]
where are we going, i don’t know
where are we headed, is it best
is it a long ride ahead
or are we there yet
overmedicated, college+educated
trapped in elevators waiting
two vacations

[verse 3]
where do we take them by the timeshares
by cave and highways
on county fair rides
with lines that stretch for miles
college+educated, overcompensated
for what, time wasted
real estate but on the backs
of sinking glaciers and ache
and ache
next, we drain the great lakes
wake up on the banks, smoke cigarettes
we take, we take

we take what we can get
we take what we can get
[verse 4]
i’m at a party on the fire stool
at an exit off the interstate
i’m praying that the sp+ce race
overtakes the arms race
my horses shake and race in metal cages
praying to the constellations
naming them, waiting on the dawn

to boldly go where no man has gone before
someone gets there, and it’s gone for sure

[outro]
melinda, it’s time to go
i’m leaving, it’s time to go
i’m leaving, it’s time to go
where are we going?
where are we going?
it’s time to go
