The View (acoustic)

Modest Mouse

Your gun went off Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you My mouth runs on too Shouts from both sides, "Well we've got the land but they've got the view!" Well now here's the clue Life it rents us And yeah I hope it put plenty on you Well I hope mine did too As life gets longer, awful feels softer Well it feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss, then I feel pretty blissfully Your gun went off Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you My mouth runs on too Shouts from both sides, "Well we've got the land but they've got the view!" Well now here's the clue We are fiiiiiiiiiiiiiixed Right where we stand Life it rents us And yeah I hope it put plenty on you Well I hope mine did too We are fiiiiiiiiiiiiiixed Right where we are As life gets longer, awful feels softer Well it feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss, then I feel pretty blissfully Pre-Solo: (Isaac Screaming into some police speaker-style thing) For every invention made how much time did we save? We're not much farther than we were in the cave (Solo) As life gets longer, awful feels softer, and it feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss, Well I feel pretty blissfully If life's not beautiful without the pain, Well I'd just rather never ever even see... beauty again Well as life gets longer, awful feels softer And it... feels pretty soft to me, oh hooo For every good deed done there is a crime committed We are fixed For every step ahead we could have just been seated We are fixed Chorus Outro: As life gets longer, awful feels softer Well it feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss, then I feel pretty blissfully We are fixed We are fixed We are fixed Right where we... stand
