Crosswords, or What This Says About You

Lyrics

[Intro] What a silly expression The news just got real for the new progressives We wait out the situation It seems like a thing, you wore a hubcap as a halo [Verse 1] A father grows forgetful The mother lies in the light of the cable news feed (I remember all the days) In the course of your conversation You make an effort to fight off the sniffles [Refrain] Can't hear the bass I can't hear the bass [Chorus] (There you are the day before) I'm not playing, i'm not playing I'm not playing with you We're not playing, we're not playing We're not playing with you [Verse 2] (Better than alone) I lost you somewhere at the airport You can find me at the Happy Clam There you are, your way, your, ooh [Chorus] We're not playing, we're not playing We're not playing with you Seems like they used to be much larger Than they are right now We're not playing Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 3] In the summer we opened up the windows The smell of sweet soothing pot smoke was no joke (In another, didn't know if you wanted to be You get a view from inside, if you wanted it to be) We had a view through the fir trees Oh so unhappy together You're not singing enough You're not playing Stressed out by the lunacy [Chorus] You're not playing, you're not playing You're not playing with me I'm not playing, I'm not playing I'm not playing [Refrain] I can't hear the bass [Bridge] I'm not playing I'm not your player Impossibility I can't hear the bass I'm not playing, I'm not playing Dude, I'm not your player (How do you remember?) [Outro] I lost you at the airport Here we are, can't hear the bass I can't hear the bass I can't hear The bass We're not playing Yeah, yeah, yeah
