lyrics

You got killer instinct, kid
You’re gonna go far
Learn to leverage, to raise the bar
It’s synergy, spreadsheets, swimming with sharks
Barnacles on the hulls of hearts
Find weakness & make a friend
Learn to breathe from it’s mouth & then
You seen the matrix? it’s kinda like that
Find a pulse then we take it back

Breakdowns in cars
Driveby jumpstarts
I’ll wring you dry, babe
But you know I care

Au Contraire

You got killer instinct, son
You’re gonna be big If you drop the card that we need to win
It’s energy moving, never destroyed
Transferred to deadlines, golden noise
Find hope & exploit it all
People like feeling safe & warm
But when you fish for love with an atom bomb
One day you wake up & we’re gone

Breakdowns in cars
Driveby jumpstarts
I’ll wring you dry, babe
But you know I care

Au Contraire

Dead-end streets cauterise
It’s a long way home do you want a ride?
There’s always room for clientele
We’ll walk you can go to hell
Dead-end streets cauterise
It’s a long way home do you want a ride?
Not tonight

If you don’t play it you’re gonna get left behind
We got the keys & I heard you wanna drive
Why don’t you sign it? You know we’re on your side
We got the airtime & I heard you wanna fly high right?
