Stone Age Brain

Jen Cloher


You say, you say you know
The day Armageddon’s gonna blow
You light a fag suck it in
A post-apocalyptic grin
You say, you say: Everything dies baby that’s a fact
But with the state of the world
You hope you’re never coming back

This life, this life is brutal
The times, small and feudal
Homesick Chinese teens
Making iPhones
Dreaming suicide dreams
My stoned, my Stone Age brain
A slave to my machines
Now I, I can’t see, I can’t see
The cosmic woods for the trees

I don’t know why I'm breaking down

I used, I used to drink
But drinking it just made me cheap
And all, all that other shit
Just made me grind my teeth
I used to love the rainbow
I used to love the view
I still love Leonard Cohen
But I caught the darkness too
