Baby's Gone to Seed

[Verse 1]

Baby's gone to seed

The innocence is fading

Baby's in the weeds

The big bad wolf is waiting

[Verse 2]

And all of the treasures you promised

Were flaunted like a treat on a string

If just for one day you were honest

You'd confess that you don't feel a thing

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Front-row seat to the slow-motion car crash

Just for show

[Chorus]

So hold on for dear life

Don't go quietly into the night

'Cause we're in for a bumpy ride

[Verse 3]

Oh Baby's gone to seed

A drowning weeping willow

The world burns while it sleeps

While Nero bows his fiddle

[Verse 4]

We've all gone to Hell in basket

And apathy's all of the ragе

We might think we're now in our darkеst

Just wait 'til you turn the next page

[Pre-Chorus 2]

The horse is a general

Snorting up the chemicals

Spelling out the nuclear codes

[Chorus]

So hold on for dear life

Don't go quietly into the night

'Cause we're in for a bumpy ride

[Spoken Outro]

In this cold, dark, relentless winter

When there's nothing else left to ponder

I will dwell fondly on all the good times

And kick the bad ones out into the stratosphere

When the final, sweet drop of whiskey has left the bottle

I'll be the last one left

Quietly sitting here

Baby's gone to seed
