We Were Never Built To Last Lyrics


You're on your own now. We're tired of lending hands.
Our new agenda: it cuts you from all our plans.
So get in line, boy. And keep that mouth of yours closed.
Don't need opinions. Just work them hands to bones.We stood in place and watched them tear us apart.
They cut us open and ripped out all our parts.
But we kept quiet. We let them have their way.
We made our point by having nothing to say.We all broke up right on cue.
We'll take you down with us too.You'd better jump ship. This bastard is sinking fast.
There's nothing to save here. Our worth has all but passed.
The muddy waters are slipping in through the cracks.
The ship is sinking.We sit on our hands and watch it all fall.
No one blinks an eye.
There's not much worth saving.
Just lots of buildings and concrete colored skies.But then you came and picked us up.
You combed our hair, and made us look like people.
And we learned to feed ourselves again.
We built some homes and filled them full of clones.But we won't wait until you get back. We'll be gone long before you arrive.
We were never built to last. But we'd like to tell you:Thanks for the good time. It was nice to have known you.

We'll all be just fine, and we'll try to write you.
We appreciate the lies, but we're done believing you.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Electric President is the second of Ben Cooper's projects, this time with Alex Kane. The sound is a mix with folk, pop, electronic, with a sound that would be very much like if you threw The Postal Service, The Decemberists, The Flaming Lips, and George Orwell in a large blender. They've recorded two albums and one EP under the Electric President moniker, all available under the German imprint Morr Music, with a third to be released in early 2010 on Fake Four Inc.
