Sweet torch song about war, corruption, the arms trade, oil reserves, PTSD and love

lyrics

CIVVY STREET

there’s nothing like your last cigarette
or at least the idea of it
so you reach for the packet
again and again
the heavy chain
of Civilian days

some contextual blindness
might compensate
for post traumatic stress
poor baby
how do you dress
on Civvy street?

i’d like to say you’ll be alright
i’ll pick out the shrapnel from your mind
with my eyes
if i could hold you tight
i’d draw out your plutonium tipped thoughts
with my lips

maybe you’ll be alright
you might beat that dopamine habit
you might find a flame
or another way
to fix the lights
on Civvy street
