The Short Straw

from Toilet Mug by Shadrow

/

about

A song about patriotic frustration and disappointment.

lyrics

People say "The best is coming."
"Only time will tell."
But as of now, the promises are all they ever sell
There is no two ways about it
You picked the wrong one
And now I've got to face the consequences of what you've done

Doesn't matter what I draw
It'll be the short straw
I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing
The choice you made was wrong
It was your fault all along
I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

The modern way we see each other
Across the stream
It makes you feel like things are almost better than they seem
But when it seems I'm losing focus
It all starts to break
I can't decipher the words you say, turns out I'm not awake

Doesn't matter what I draw
It'll be the short straw
I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing
The choice you made was wrong
It was your fault all along
I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

We have become the global punchline
A worldwide joke
We only got their full attention when we began to choke
Every time we make a difference
It all goes down the drain
It's hard to swallow all these pills when you go and change the name

Doesn't matter what I draw
It'll be the short straw
I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing
The choice you made was wrong
It was your fault all along
I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing
Gonna have to withdraw
There's a pain in my jaw
Doesn't matter what I draw
It'll be the short straw
