Lyrics
Everybody's waiting on a car crash
Anticipation for a dramatic event or disaster
Wondering if the world is gonna change
Curiosity about the potential for global transformation
Hoping in the morning if we wake up
Hopeful for a more sensible world upon waking
It won't feel so much like we've all gone insane
Desire for sanity amid perceived collective insanity
Dollar ninety nine to fill the spaces
Low-cost attempt to replace lost courage
Place where all your courage used to be
Identifying a void in oneself where courage used to reside
White trash hooker in cheap makeup
Depiction of a person with a degraded lifestyle
Is really all you're ever gonna be
Stating the expected fate based on current choices
Is really all you're ever gonna be
Reiteration of the inevitable destiny
You're just fakin'
Accusation of pretending or not being genuine
It's everything you do
Claiming insincerity in every action
I'm still shakin'
Personal distress or emotional turmoil
From the con man blues
Attributing distress to the "con man blues"
Sinking in your hole of deprivation
Descending into a state of extreme need or want
Thumb sucker hiding in the sheets
Someone avoiding responsibility or facing reality
Living with your own infatuation
Living with self-delusion and excessive admiration
While the rest of us are sleeping in the streets
Contrasting a self-absorbed existence with societal struggles
While the rest of us are sleeping in the streets
Emphasizing the contrast with others' hardships
You're just fakin'
Reiteration of the accusation of insincerity
You got nothin to lose
Claiming a lack of consequences for the accused
I'm still shakin' from the con man blues
Continued emotional turmoil attributed to the "con man blues"
You're just fakin'
Reiteration of the claim of pretending
It's everything you do
Reaffirming the assertion of insincerity in actions
I'm still shakin'
Continued personal distress from the "con man blues"
From the con man blues
Final statement linking ongoing distress to deceitful behavior
