This body's built to stand up
To petty tyrants and the corrupt
The ones who burn you out
The ones who tear you down
Politicians sell the plans to the city
To mafia farm team lackeys
Is anyone even fucking listening?
To the words from their mouths?
The way they run this town?
Because I'm a dirtbag faking a game of lonesome dove
Never satisfied with what I've got, so I just want more
And it hurts to know you felt that way
Because I acted so selfishly
And I've learned a lot about myself, but I can't go back
I hate summer and it comes through
In every single thing I try to do
The sun, it burns me out,
The heat, it cuts me down
I don't wanna float down the river
Or get patio beers down at Sisters
I feel bad enough for my liver
The state of this town, is the fate of this town
My personal guilt for being human
Is bigger than you can well imagine
and I'm not fearless, more like a tangent
These words don't sound like words,
they don't make a sound
Because I'm a dirtbag faking a game of lonesome dove
Never satisfied with what I've got, so I just want more
And it hurts to know you felt that way
Because I acted so selfishly
And I've learned a lot about myself, but I can't go back

So many great moments and a unique snapshot in time of some very talented Alberta based songwriters. I'm lucky to call skinny a brother. Taylor Ackerman
