Originally written for Burning Symphony. The only recording with the band, however, is a live show at The Palms in Las Vegas. The song was originally recorded as Mother McKenzie for an upcoming album called "Post Coital Depression" which was produced by Brendon Massei of The Viking Moses. Post Coital Depression was comprised mostly of songs written by The Burning Symphony and never recorded.
lyrics
Okay now whose got the biggest toys?
And whose got the biggest stains?
Across their sheets, across their brains?
Whose got the prettiest girls who suck the biggest candy canes?
Who waits in lines? Who waits at all?
I hear you're teleporting, fuck pumping gas
It's the 21st century
And you grew up next to me
Okay now whose traveled across this earth?
Who can't keep track of what they're worth?
Whose running factories in Taiwan?
Full of little kids bread so strong
Whose afraid of being naked?
Whose afraid of spiders?
Whose afraid of nothing?
Set your heart on fire and crawl in bed with me
You grew up next to me
It's my high school reunion and I'm so high
I don't wanna live I don't wanna die
Who is smiling? Whose pretending?
Who breaks the hearts? Who does the mending?
Which spouse's money are you spending?
Whose mom and dad is always lending?
Whose lovely hairline is receding?
Whose lonely past won't stop repeating?
Who here is truly free?
You people grew up next to me
It's my high school reunion and I'm so high
(High school is never really over)
Don't wanna live I don't wanna die
