Better Oblivion Community Center - Chesapeake lyrics

To a world we'll not remember
When we're old and tired
We'll be blowing on the embers
Of a little fire we were the tallest person
Watching in Chesapeake
You put me on your shoulders so I could see

I was all covered in sound
Ear plugs so it wasn't loud
Swallowed up by the crowd
I didn't know what they were singing about
I can't hardly wait for someone to replace

It was hot in the arena
Good men die like dogs
My hero plays to no one, in a parking lot
Even though there's no one around
He broke a leg and the house came down
A smattering of applause
A sliver moon and a cover song

Oh sweet child of mine
You're always sorry for everything
Never apologize oh sweet child of mine
Now you stand on the corner
And hope you get recognized

I was all covered in sound
When you asked me to turn it down
Didn't even think it was loud
Can you hear it now?
