Lyrics
Disbelief when they got grifted for the prize
Young and gifted
Sifted through the grave for a taste of danger
Got washed away on a way-stranger wave
See fairer way to discount the nature
Count yer coffins, shaft your pallbearers
All's fair in all areas
If you're not all there when I'm all in
I'll sing through gritted teeth
If someone beat you to it, nah, nah
It's just grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
But how you coping?
Grifter's grief
You're dealing with grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Choking on your own tears
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief
While I sleep beneath an ancient tree that looms over the heath
With a head of empty threats, lay on a bed of stolen dog teeth
As our prayers all turn to begging when beholden to a sun
That left us sowing seeds for summer down the barrel of a gun
I forgot that Armageddon stops at the mercy of the chief
So taste the tears and prosper or obliterate your grief
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief
(Will we fight them on the beaches for the bleaching of the reef?)
(Those sweet creatures of the deep)
Grifter's grief
But how you coping?
Grifter's grief
You're dealing with grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Choking on your own tears
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief (ah-ah)
Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief
Grifter's grief, grifter's grief, grifter's grief
Do you like being mad?
I don't like being mad, but
I suppose everybody gets mad once in a lifetime
Hence, they determine to abandon themselves
To the stream of fear
And perhaps we're surprised to find what an exceedingly shallow realm it was
