Been on such a huge Twin Peaks and David Lynch kick, I just had to cut another fan edit together. Much like The Return deals with the struggles in small-town America, this song tells a similar story...

Lyrics:
We were just kids playin cops and robbers
Didn’t need no other friends
Passing notes beneath the teacher’s nose
Didn’t hear a word she said
But then I left home and you
You couldn’t move
Did you feel left behind?
What you’re goin' on about
I can’t make out
But man, you know I’ll try
Cuz there was a time when
We had each other’s backs
But now you don’t even meet my eye
When the myth becomes
The myth becomes a fact
Your tattoo sleeve, “don’t tread on me,”
Is faded from the sun
And the hydrocodone’s wearing thin
So you pop another one
And that’s when I search your eyes
For the kid who cried
But your skin is so much rougher
Why does that little boy
Who was scared of noise
Drive a truck without a muffler?
Cuz there was a time when
We had each other’s backs
But now you don’t even meet my eye
When the myth becomes
The myth becomes:
How you saw both sides on January six
And you just don’t mind he’s a convict
Cuz he dignifies the way you think
And he sells what you buy, so you buy it quick
But he robs you blind and he tries to pit
Blue collar whites against inner city kids
Your country pride is your downfall
Cuz the super rich divide us all
There was a time when
We had each other’s backs
But now you don’t even meet my eye
When the myth becomes
The myth becomes a fact
There was a time when
We had each other’s backs
But now you don’t even meet my eye
When the myth becomes
The myth becomes a fact
