I know this might sound
profoundly pessimistic
but how can things be so fucked up
and so many people just miss it

won't you send me a letter downstream
something I could touch something I could feel
won't you send me a letter downstream
something I could touch something I could feel

everyday now seems our future
just gets dimmer and dimmer somebody shout “amen”
I swear if one more asshole calls my mother
demanding money I'll just fucking hit them

won't you send me a letter downstream
something I could touch something I could feel
won't you send me a letter downstream
something I could touch something I could feel

I don't want to be here I don't want to be here
I just want to be home you see
it's not that bad trading your dreams for minimum wage slavery
it runs in the family

won't you send me a letter downstream
something I could touch something I could feel
won't you send me a letter downstream
something I could touch something I could feel

all this singing can't support me hell
I can't even support myself
and I feel so selfish, so ashamed that
I can't think of anything else to say but

won't you send me a letter downstream
something I could touch something I could feel
won't you send me a letter downstream
send me your fears
