Dyslexic Palindrome

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Conor Oberst] It's a billy club bruise that shattered your skin They're breaking up the union to let the scabs in It's a baseball bat to the back of your neck And now you're nodding, yes 'Cause they won't take no for an answer these days There is a miracle drug for the disengaged age If the mad men say it's all ok, they're lying [Chorus: Conor Oberst & Hurray for the Riff Raff] You can make up new meanings for the things that you're seeing But it's a long, long, long, long way from known In a dyslexic palindrome [Verse 2: Hurray for the Riff Raff] When the blue of the night meets thе bruise round your eye It's painful and blooming Shovе the kids in the car, no, you're not going far But you gotta get moving Take a pause from the show so the sponsors can crow Put the TV on mute, no one has to know You can read the fine print that your lawyer decodes When the racecar explodes Wow [Chorus: Conor Oberst & Hurray for the Riff Raff] You can make up new meanings for the things that you're feeling But it's a long, long, long, long way from known In a dyslexic palindrome [Outro: Conor Oberst & Hurray for the Riff Raff] I'm seeing things upside down I start at the ending now A man, a plan, a canal, napalm Dyslexic palindrome
