Lyrics:
We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you turning on us like a switch?
Why you turning on us like a switch? 

We got all this rage kept contained
Gotta let it out
But you’re thinking ‘bout your face
How to save it
It won’t work no more 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 

Give up
Hold up
We’re waiting… 
There’s a lot that you won’t understand
And you’re lucky ask 

Don’t act surprised,
We’ve always been here
Working twice as hard
For half as much
Still, I’m the lucky one
it’s all in my head
You can’t say nothing no more
It’s all the same

If you don’t know by now, by now 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you turning on us like a switch?
Why you turning on us like a switch?

Waiting til they call your station
Romanticise the small decision
I’d be there in two minutes walking

Cracks let in a light two seconds
A stranger wears your walk and fragrance
Then I overheard a southern accent

Damian calls with their whereabouts
A park somewhere far out of town
I doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own
 
Everything I see is clouded
With your views and prejudice about it
I guess we covered all that there is

Damian calls me with their whereabouts
He’s been on to me for hours now
Doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own

You know how I could go about
Every place and every fucker I loath
 
I wonder how your day turned out
Mine just turned one hundred years old

Long Road Motel is a sonic journey down dusty highways, past forgotten motels and haunted memories. A dark rock/grunge track soaked in nostalgia and unease. Gritty guitars, ghostly melodies, and a voice that drifts like a summer wind—restless and heavy.
Perfect for those who aren't chasing beaches this summer, but chasing meaning—or just trying to outrun something inside.
🎸 Turn up the radio. Leave everything behind. Welcome to the Long Road Motel.

Lyrics
[Verse]
Dusty road it stretches wide
Empty dreams hitching a ride
Neon flickers in the haze
Old motel where ghosts still stay

[Chorus]
Long road motel
Where the lost hearts dwell

[Verse 2]
Creaky floorboards sing their tune
Peeling walls hide past’s perfume
Faded faces in the frames
Time forgot their worn-out names

[Chorus]
Long road motel
Where the lost hearts dwell

[Bridge]
Broken signs they point to nowhere
Echoes hum in the heavy air
Every room a silent story
Worn-out beds and fleeting glory

[Verse 3]
Highway hums its lonely hymn
Night creeps in the lights grow dim
Shadows dance in amber glow
Secrets whispered no one knows

Long road motel

Official Lyrics: Better Times

[Verse]
Nothing screams entitlement like,
Demanding reproduction from poor people,
Who can't afford rent, medicine, or a therapist,
& as a therapist, they say that it's really tough,
To help people with coping skills,
When what they often need,
Is more money & fewer work days,

[Building Tension]
& I don't know who needs to hear this,
But, all education in this country,
Should be free because
An educated society benefits us all,
Because criminalizing homelessness,
In a country where minimum wage is $7.25, 
& the average shitty one bedroom apartment is,
$1,100 to $1,800 a month,
Is nothing less than evil wrapped in greed,

& the lack of basic empathy,
Required to think that,
Homelessness can be solved,
By placing people in work camps,
Like, Alligator Alcatraz American Auschwitz,
Is just as suspicious & sinister!,

[Hook]
So, just a reminder,
To everyone asking,
"Why are the birth rates,
Dropping all over the place?",

[Chorus]
That any species in an,
Undesirable environment,
Will ultimately choose,
Their own survival,
Rather than taking the risk,
To reinvest in, 
Reproducing their own kind,
Because, the potential loss,
& the cost of new life, 
Is just too high,
& so, it's just better,
& safer, to wait for,
Better times,

[Verse]
But the Billionaires running this joint,
Just hope that they can strong arm us,
Into giving up because they don't think,
We'll take them up on their dare,
& choose to end them, or the species here & now,
But, we don't back down,
Don't let it go,
Don't get discouraged,
Don't let them, keep you, 
From getting back up, 
Into the righteous fight,

[Bridge]
We can win so long as we refuse,
Their distractions, demands, & decrees,
They can be defeated if we continue,
To fight back against their bullying,
So, go to town halls,
Storm in on Congressmen & Senators,
& Demand their actions, not just their words,
& keep speaking out against their authority,
-& Protect the vulnerable in your community,
'Cause this fight will take all of us,
& so, we can't ever relent!,

[Hook] & [Chorus]
(*same as before)

[Verse]
You see children, this is how,
Our government has been corrupted,
Rich millionaires & billionaires,
Donate huge sums of money to campaigns,
To get certain politicians, 
Elected to office to enact agendas,
That only benefits them,
The newly elected officials,
Rewrite the rules, 
To the rich millionaires & billionaire donor's favor,
Then the wealthy, get wealthier,
Where the poor, get poorer,
& get less adequate or any,
Representation in their own government,

[Bridge]
For the sake & love of our nation,
We must get Big Donor Money,
Out of politics, 
In order to, 
Save our Democracy!,
Before the wealthy make, 
The standard of living,
Even worse than it already is,
Here in America!,

[Hook] & [Chorus]
(*same as before)

[Verse, building tension]
When 94% of modern teachers in this country,
Have to dip into their own personal funds,
Just to have adequate supplies,
You know that something's gone wrong,
When one in every six, 
Have to get second jobs just to survive,
During the year, just to make ends meet,
While $250,000 bonuses,
Were given to the average employee,
On mother-fucking Wall Street,
That's when you know, 
That something's gone terribly wrong,
In our society,

[Bridge]
'Cause FUN FACT, 
President Abraham Lincoln,
Paid more in taxes in 1864,
Than Trump, or most of the wealthy did,
Back in 2017,
So, tax the shit out of them,
Accordingly,
& now, Billionaires like Elon Musk,
Are barred from spending more than,
$20,000 on any political party in Australia, 
& that's one hell of a muzzle for the wealthy,
So maybe, America,
We should all do the same,

[Outro Verse]
& So, just a reminder,
To everyone, that,
Christ never condemned,
The meek, & the poor,
For never having enough, 
To get by,
But, He most certainly,
Condemned & whipped,
The wealthy for their greed.
