[00:01.37]The High Party - Ted Leo
[00:27.47]I'm looking at another day
[00:28.73]
[00:29.30]To find that I've got no no nothing to say
[00:32.25]
[00:33.27]Or I'm looking for another way
[00:35.31]To process what happened on, on, on that birthday
[00:37.65]
[00:39.41]And either way, if you're gonna call it art
[00:42.29]
[00:43.08]Then there's a cup in front of you
[00:45.56]And right away, if you're gonna play your part
[00:48.09]
[00:49.20]You must drink it down, drink it down, drink it down
[00:52.68]
[00:54.02]Well, mine eyes have seen the
[00:55.79]Glory of the fields of flowers and fac fac factory farms
[00:58.22]
[00:59.77]And my mind's content to
[01:01.81]Lie at rest for hours behind my
[01:03.70]
[01:04.65]Love love loved ones' doors
[01:06.16]And if there's a war
[01:07.97]Another shitty war to fight for Ba Ba Babylon
[01:10.00]
[01:12.55]It's the perfect storm in a teacup
[01:14.48]
[01:15.60]But you must drink it down,
[01:17.07]
[01:18.66]Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down
[01:21.01]
[01:24.47]And what do you make of nights
[01:26.10]
[01:28.23]When you thought you'd make much more
[01:29.75]
[01:30.88]Than being too drunk to turn the
[01:32.48]
[01:33.04]Lights out and too tired to drink more?
[01:34.71]
[01:37.11]And what does it take to not hear
[01:39.07]
[01:41.23]The cynics at your door?
[01:42.70]Saying it's time to turn the lights
[01:44.81]
[01:47.10]Out and you want to keep it down,
[01:49.40]
[01:50.60]Keep it down, keep it down,keep it down
[01:53.81]
[02:08.50]So I'm lifting up that poison cup,
[02:10.98]To drink a draught of pro pro propaganda
[02:12.69]
[02:14.19]Or I'm giving up that other stuff
[02:16.07]
[02:17.09]In hopes that it's gonna ma ma make me madder
[02:19.59]
[02:20.75]Either way, if you're gonna call it art
[02:23.79]
[02:24.63]Then there's a cup in front of you
[02:26.44]
[02:27.15]And right away, if you're gonna play your part
[02:29.18]
[02:31.92]You must drink it down,
[02:33.09]Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down
[02:36.49]
[02:40.91]And what do you make of nights
[02:42.45]
[02:44.60]When you thought you'd make much more
[02:46.02]
[02:47.04]Than being too drunk to turn the lights
[02:48.83]
[02:49.87]Out and too tired to drink more?
[02:51.73]
[02:53.49]And what does it take to not

[04:03.10]
[04:04.47]And what does it say of all of the
