Dumpster World Lyrics – Band of Horses

Dumpster World Text

---

Worn and tattered
Evils of the western world
Real better
Over in America

The weather
So serene and calm
Unseasonably warm

Light a candle for the suffering ones,
Light a candle for the weak and the small.
God damn it there's a lot of 'em.
You kind of think that in the modern world

Holy terror
Asleep when the alarms went off
You're in the mirror
Studying,
you're cold and lost

...and I love you.
Let's marry when the time is right,
or whenever you like.

Well, say a prayer for all the people that died,
Say another for me once in awhile.
I hit rock bottom
getting old.
I was really hoping that the modern world...

Happy living in a dumpster world
Break out everybody in the jail
Let's get it on.

(Let out the wolves) Let out the wolves.
I'm happy living in a dumpster world
(Bring on the booze) Bring out the booze
Start it all.

And we won't be arrested, for nothing at all.
Don't you pick up that trash, put more of it on the ground.

(Bust out the drugs) I'm happy living in a dumpster world.
(Everyone in jail) Everyone in jail
Yeah let's get it on
(Let out all the wolves) Let out all the wolves
I'm happy living in a dumpster world
(That's mine now) That's mine now
Come and get it on
(Bust out all the drugs) Bust out the drugs

Light a candle for the suffering ones,
Light a candle for the weak and the small
Say a prayer for all the people who've gone
There's no hope for any modern world.
