What a silly expression The news just got real for the new progressives We wait out the situation It seems like a thing, you wore a hubcap as a halo A father grows forgetful The mother lies in the light of the cable news feed (I remember all the days) In the course of your conversation You make an effort to fight off the sniffles Can't hear the bass I can't hear the bass (There you are the day before) I'm not playing, i'm not playing I'm not playing with you We're not playing, we're not playing We're not playing with you (Better than alone) I lost you somewhere at the airport You can find me at the Happy Clam There you are, your way, your, ooh We're not playing, we're not playing We're not playing with you Seems like they used to be much larger Than they are right now We're not playing Yeah, yeah, yeah In the summer we opened up the windows The smell of sweet soothing pot smoke was no joke (In another, didn't know if you wanted to be You get a view from inside, if you wanted it to be) We had a view through the fir trees Oh so unhappy together You're not singing enough You're not playing Stressed out by the lunacy You're not playing, you're not playing You're not playing with me I'm not playing, I'm not playing I'm not playing I can't hear the bass
