Song Of The Day June 8th (Marah)

Song of the day is "Poor People" by a band from Philadelphia called Marah. The song is from their album "If You Didn't Laugh...You'd Cry" released in 2005 on Yep Roc Records. Great song, great band.

We should not be livin’ this life like this
The sink is chokin’ on onion skins
While flies give birth in our breadbins
Box fans exhuming humidity’s wind
And we will be forgotten
In a life like this

In the morning the TV cheers
As daytime soaps become our careers
A lifetime messin’ with the rabbit ears
And we’re tuning into nothing
This ain’t life like this

We should not be livin’ this life like this
The mice are crazy from paint chip crumbs
As the iron lung of the icebox hums
There’s cool ranch dust on our lunchtime thumbs
And we treat each other rotten
This ain’t life like this

We’re poor people
We’re poor, we’re poor
We walk down to the corner store
We walk across the sticky floor
We’re poor people
We’re poor, we’re poor

Lyrics Of The Day Dec.21st (Marah)

"It's 3 in the morning when the bottle comes down...
and ooohhhh the razor goes around
but your time is your time and
nothing will change, nothing will change
gimme a dollar and I'll say it again...
here comes nothin'
now it's goin' once,goin' twice...
the demon is doin' his bidding, who am I kidding?
to be in this all night dream...
I wind up strumming on my old guitar
the only tune I ever know
so far"

Lyrics by David Bielanko of Marah from the song "Can't Take It With You" on the album 'Angels Of Destruction' (2008)
