The Bums of the Grand Cascade

Shit here, puke there... That's how Livvy greets us every fucking day! Dirty laundry piled in a mountainous heap, No one here to take the rubbish out — we're in too deep, Bags full of bottles that rattle and clink, That's how we live — the dregs, on the brink! The sheets are rank already — but fuck it all! Nobody's got the strength — we're waiting to fall... It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! Dirty dishes fill the sink, Lunch is just some bread, I think, To get this flat remotely clean I'd have to quit my work routine, Drop out of school as well - I fear... 'Cause I can't cope much longer, that's clear. Winter brings depression's bite, Jackie moans and groans all night, I need something firm to grip! Or I'll take a nasty slip, Lying there till spring arrives, Maybe then I'll find my drive? Maybe then I'll make it through? It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! Hard is the life of bums like these, Lying in their filth at ease, Backs that ache from lying in bed, Eyes all glazed from screens instead, Tablets and phones consume our days, If only they would pay — Bonuses for every scroll, For years of slacking — that's the goal! We'd be wealthy, we'd be grand — The bums who gained the upper hand! It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! Do I need more pills today? Popping handfuls — that's my way, Gulping down this chemical brew, Still I'm fighting to get through, This fucking treatment's worth jack shit, Still I'm lying — that is it... Lying through the night and day, Maybe start a podcast, hey? "The Bums of the Grand Cascade"! Trash bags standing by the door, Stinking up the corridor, Clean undies — running thin, Everything unravels within, Everything reeks and falls to rot, That's the sorry life we've got! It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! It fell — just let it lie... Bedlam or Bellevue, by and by, Will come and take us, you and I! We'll lie around in there just fine! But I haven't lost all hope That I'll wash my undies — cope! Find the perfect pill for me, Clean this whole damn flat — be free, That I'll finally find the drive To stand my ground and thrive. Do I need more pills today? Popping handfuls — that's my way, Gulping down this chemical brew, Still I'm fighting to get through, This fucking treatment's worth jack shit, I'm still lying — that is it... Lying through the night and day, Maybe start a podcast, hey? "The Bums of the Grand Cascade"! I just need to gather strength, I just need to go the distance, Through the blizzards, through the gales, Through these heavy, grim-dark tales! Maybe today I won't lose my mind? [Whispers] Maybe today I won't lose my mind...
