The Shins - Eating Styes From Elephant's Eyes Lyrics

They want trash 
They want you batting a lash 
They'll eat styes from elephant's eyes 
They're in touch with their inner crutch 
They won't stab but they grab 
And that's just like the other 

They're getting news 
And we're drowning in booze 
We take lies from elephant's eyes 
They're in bed with the crowd eating lead 
It won't stop if you shop with the lovers of bloodshed 

I went to school 
I saw slides of where I'm meant to be 

We read time like a kid eating limes 
We're in town when bees are let out 
We get laughs through an osmotic patch 
We're attached to the past 'cause the future's a bleak one 

I went to school 
I saw slides of where I'm meant to be
