lyrics

Tacos on the west coast
Tacos on the east coast
Black belt in the dryer
Fish sauce in the fire
Too aware of elbows
Don’t know where my tongue goes
Awkwardly well-meaning
Lean if you feel like leaning

Chief I think they put the wrong one out
Chief they let the wrong one hit the ground

Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why’s it always gotta be the ones! We! Love!
That always have to go and get the most! Fucked! Up!
Why can’t the, why can’t the, why can’t the
Mall burn down?

Floppy disk repairman
Obsolete vocation
A town you feel like burning
You don’t wanna really go burn it
Bumper hanging over the levee
Kick whatever they let me
If the moon gets on my fingers
I’ll brag about it later

Chief I think they put the wrong one out
Chief they let the wrong one hit the ground

Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why’s it always gotta be the ones! We! Love!
That always have to go and get the most! Fucked! Up!
Why can’t the, why can’t the, why can’t the
Mall burn down?

Chief I know you don’t believe in ghosts
Chief do I know everyone I’ll know
Chief I like the way your face can’t cry
Chief I wake up in the ugly night

Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why can’t the mall burn down?
Why’s it always gotta be the ones! We! Love!
That always have to go and get the most! Fucked! Up!
Why can’t the, why can’t the, why can’t the
Mall burn down?
