Lake Monster (Brownstein/Battat)

Old people with masks

Questions that no one asks

Then they go back to mindless tasks

Old breaking news

Of following the clues

You only have to believe

If you so choose

The man who knew the monster to him he was a friend

The man who knew the monster to him it had to end

Chanting in the street

What do they really think

Of how they got the land beneath their feet

Crowds rejoice

Of course they had no choice

They were just looking for the common voice

The man who knew the monster to him he was a friend

The man who knew the monster to him it had to end

The man who knew the monster saw it was a mistake

The man who knew the monster - shot him in the lake

And then he sank

He sank down to the floor

You’ll never have to see his face anymore

Or hear his name

Ever being said

Unless you turn on the news again

The man who knew the monster to him he was a friend

The man who knew the monster to him it had to end

The man who knew the monster saw it was a mistake

The man who knew the monster - shot him in the lake
