From the recording Number Nine EP
Lyrics
El Pollo
Take no stock in what you say, and I wonder if you’ll ever find yourself
You’re runnin’ on the inside
I don’t care for all the ways that I gotta break my back for someone else
I’m runnin’ on an incline
All the world is old and lame, and they wanna make it all about themselves
They’re money on the inside
So take your old and evil ways, & just shove ‘em up your ass, cuz I’m in hell
(Chorus 1)
And when I try to take a toke just to dull the pain
You’re gonna be here, oh
When lovers try to seal their fate in your paper ways
You’re gonna be here, oh
You’ll be the big hero
I live for the simple things, but you gotta complicate it with your spell
You’re killin’ all the sunshine
We know there are better ways, but you’ll never drop your ego, I can tell
(Chorus 2)
And when we try to keep the peace with another race
You’re gonna be here, oh
When lovers try to seal their fate in your paper ways
You’re gonna be here, oh
You’ll be the big hero
And when I stop to take a breath of mother nature’s ways
You’re gonna be here, oh
And when I try to take a toke just to dull the pain
You’re gonna be here, oh
You’ll be the big hero
