Earlimart Before It Gets Better
There's a light that just won't go out
No matter what they try to do
'Cause you can't pull out the circuits
Remove the bulb or blow the fuse
And it just might be the brightest star
Discovered yet by man
But it might as well be a pin hole
From where we stand
There are times when I thought
It'd be easy to ignore
But it just takes one look
And I don't believe my theory anymore
I won't get upset, I won't fight it
I'd have no escape in mind
But the distant roar of the highway
Just won't subside
So don't leave soon, don't leave this room
We'll be on top of the moon but 'til then
It's a bloodbath, it's a bloodbath
It's a bloodbath and it's getting worse
In a crowded room
There are people planning our time
And the next time I know when I see them
They will be older and we'll be fine
You can count up all of your friends
Who still really know you on just one hand
And the others that come around too
They'll understand
So don't feel bad, don't look so sad
We're much more than that
But for now it's a deathtrap
It's a deathtrap, it's a deathtrap
It's a bloodbath and it's gonna get worse
And it's gonna get worse
It's gonna get worse
Before it gets better
