Making Do

To the next generation, merry Christmas

You're working harder than ever now and the coffee sucks

You know Colombia and Kenya got too damn hot

And now you're making do with what you've got

Everybody knew

Reading all the same headlines

Blowing through the traffic signs

Looking for the cops

But what could you do?

Can't you see it clear as glass?

Going through it if we crash

But we're never gonna stop

Killer waves and riots

Coming to the coastline soon

Counting up the new typhoons

Quicker than kilowatts

How could you deny it?

Living like your eyes are shut

I guess it's hard to be a human

It's even harder to be not

When you're making do with what you've got

Where are all the heroes?

Perfect teeth glistening

Big strong chins

Shooting for the moonshots

Like going sixty to zero

Slowing down few and far between

Everything true it seems like we forgot

I don't wanna lie

What do I say to my baby girl?

Leaving her with half a world

That we coulda done a lot?

I just wanna die

If she wants what she can't become

And she can't blame anyone

Because it's no one's fault

When you're making do with what you've got

You've gotta make it do a lot more than ever

And you don't even know what you've lost

A perfect paradise of too many guilty pleasures

And you pay the cost, you pay the cost

To the next generation, merry Christmas

You're working harder than ever now
