lyrics

uno you were there for me in between realities we sang and danced routinely through their bleeding hearts
theyre piggies underneath
theres something up their sleeve
a ring around the rosie rolling somewhere in the crowd
for them to infiltrate your fun

Uno was good company, sure they made mistakes but we all do
and you know its true that no one is free if one of us is struggling to get through and the nostalgic bum in me just wants to amplify the truth
but what good what it do?
oh its under control
oh its always under control

they softly softly
crush us into dust
if we resist one tiny little bit
and if we must
we'll break or bust
until the imbalance is fixed

Uno wasnt there there the day that i came home
i looked everywhere i tried them on their phone
i can feel it in the air
theres something going on
now Uno wasn't the type to take so long to respond

and then we got the dreaded call
Uno had been killed by the Law
the long arm of the Law
can you feel it
pushing down
can you feel it pushin?
