Less Yesterday, More Today

Less yesterday and more today I gotta get my head on straight The tree trunks rot and people get caught Buying bullshit we don't need or want Well, full forests turn to desert's hot dried dirt The animals dig ditches They hide and watch our backs get burned And less yesterday, and more today Yeah, I gotta start livin' that way And less yesterday, and more today Yeah, I gotta get my head on straight The ground shrinks fast and the spot-lit strips of houses They look like Christmas lights she'd hang in her apartment So I turn my head, I try to watch the screen instead But my eyes go fuzzy and start painting Shapes all over the movie I'm watching And they mix and match my present with my past But the colors are crisp and I press to hard So ink soaks straight through the back And less yesterday, and more today Yeah, I gotta start to live, to live that way So less yesterday and more today Yeah, I gotta get my head on straight 'Cause I keep ending up exactly where I start A roller rink I stumble through waiting for the songs to stop And I used to drown it out with empty space I found But I turned my back and my life got too crowded So it's really hard to do that now And less yesterday, and more today Yeah, I gotta start livin' that way And less yesterday, and more today Yeah, I gotta get my head on straight
