lyrics

you can cover over spray-paint and pick up all their trash
but you feel it coming back to you you know it travels fast
it may bury me but i wont be the last
so have a good look at your children
and the food around their smiles
then a glance across the world 
and tell me theirs deserve to die
and i am sorry but its as much your fault

its in the shit you buy its in the vote you don't cast
the kind of car you drive filled up with conflict gas
when you cross their bloody palms with silver
you're setting up the back-room deal
where it all goes wrong

i will go about my business at the bottom of this well
on a humid afternoon inside a roadside motel
this live may bury me but i wont be the last
i'll have a hard look in the mirror 
at the bones around my eyes
take a glance across the world 
and tell me this ain't paradise
johnny walker black and a bucket of ice

its in the shit i buy its in the vote i don't cast
the kind of car i drive needs too much fucking gas
when i cross their bloody palms
with silver i'm setting up the back-room deal
where it all goes wrong

god knows i steal
god knows i take what's not mine
god knows i waste
i waste whats not mine

about

Allegra Gellar Los Angeles, California

Jeremy Wilkins, Denver Bon, and GL3 were Allegra Gellar. Pez played bass from 2004-2006 and Olive played drums for a bit in 2007-2008. Dan played drums here and there. They made indie-rock, indie-folk, and folktronic music from 2003 till 2012.

In 2012 they completed their final album, The Secret Plans Of Men, and finally satisfied with what they'd done, promptly disbanded.
