Lopez noted a change in how he was responding to Moreno’s lyrics when he “realised how they’re relatable but you can’t always pinpoint what he’s talking about” – apart from on new album track ‘Big Youth’, featuring El-P of Run The Jewels. “He told me about that was about keyboard warriors in the com...
[Verse 1: Chino Moreno]
I see you want a name
You swear you are down
Yet for what, I can't say
You didn't bother me
You preach to your crowd
But don't bother waving your guns
Hey, don't bother waving your guns
Yeah, better luck next time
[Chorus: Chino Moreno]
You don't owe me your take on the roads that I chose
In the maze that I solved
I don't owe you one thing, it's attention you craved
When you climbed here on board
These tears run dry
These tears run dry
[Verse 2: Chino Moreno]
I heard you calling me
Well, you were loud
You were howling constant
I'd think you'd wanna leave
Well, you're allowed
So don't bother waving your guns
Yeah, don't bother waving your guns
So sorry you were let down
[Chorus: Chino Moreno]
You don't owe me your take on the roads that I chose
In the maze that I solved
I don't owe you one thing, it's attention you craved
When you climbed here on board
These tears run dry
These tears run dry
[Verse 3: EL-P]
If it bleeds it leads, the whole scene is a scream
We're all at war to get a piece, you don't see that shit's bleak
Lemme speak
This shit is fly, I'm a Khaleesi how I glide, I mean yeesh
You think I think that I'm too good to deny I agree
The fix is in, I have no time to comply with these fiends
I'm out here dreaming with the sheep, all these swine'll cease
Fry 'em in their grease
You show them the money, someone gonna show you the gunny
Quicker than anyone gonna teach you to do the dougie
I came to Earth bloody and battered, birth was a mugging
You wonder why I keep drugs on me, why the style is so muddy
The minute you're living's the instant you get on galactic hitlist
You know that the city's not granting forgiveness or dying wishes
So picture me giving a fractal of shit or asking permission
As Bran is my witness I'm slinging brick upon brick of that slick shit
[Outro: Chino Moreno]
These tears run dry
These tears run dry
These tears run dry
These tears run dry
