If you've got a problem, take it up with city council

lyrics

This is an open letter to our intergalactic overlord
What are you going to do about the lack of libraries in this town?
I've been trying to do a research paper on you, but there's no books to be found
Also the weekly public executions are getting me and my buddies down.

When was the last time you had to fuel your planet destroying spaceship?
Did you see what you paid for gas? You should agree it's a joke.
And have you seen the public school test scores? They're at an all time low
And when are you going to clean up the streets? They're on fire and they reek of dope.

Sometimes it feels like you don't even care about us
When you're done destroying suns, there's some things we'd like to discuss

Last night I heard an explosion in the sky and I felt it
it felt like the weight of a world being destroyed in a heartbeat
As it lit up the sky I felt a chill from my head to my feet
And my bones shone through my skin like an x-ray machine

Sometimes it feels like you've got better things on your mind
So if you'd drop by every once and awhile, that'd be fine.
