The Big Mistake

[Verse 1]
I look around
I feel like all our time is running down
Everything's paved
And not even room left for this poor man's grave
Strip every mine
Depleting resources like it's our nation's pride
Everything's corn
We're all gonna starve someday 'cause we're all so sure
Then again, the earth's been flat before

[Chorus]
I've made a big mistake and I'll be paying for it
I've made a big mistake
We're never gonna learn
I've made a big mistake and I'll be paying for it
'Til they're pushing earth back just for me

[Verse 2]
Eat wild cotton free
To do so we let steel monsters vacuum the seeds
But hand me a plate
I'll fill my gut 'til my knees can't stand the weight
Land of the free where debt is driving force of this economy
The home of the brave
Our motto is "Drone strike any brown man that can shave"
Weeds are getting stronger
And we don't live that much longer
But they just put a TV the size of moon out
They it 3D now so we can fully tune out

[Chorus]
I've made a big mistake and I'll be paying for it
I've made a big mistake
We're never gonna learn
I've made a big mistake and I'll be paying for it
'Til they're pushing earth back just for me

[Bridge]
So we ride with bounding pride over the plastic piles we own
As they break down, so do the towns
Places we live but don't call home
We lubricate then propagate old tales
Night life is so deranged
You couldn't pry me from the lie we have the faintest hope to change

[Chorus]
I've made a big mistake and I'll be, wait, wait, no
We've made a big mistake
We've made a big mistake and we'll be paying for it
We've made a big mistake
We're never gonna learn!
We've made a big mistake and we'll be paying for it
We're so sure, but we've all been wrong before
Yeah, for sure, but you could always hurt a little more
We're so sure, but we've all been wrong before
