We charge into danger.
No guarantees or safe places.
No one can be trusted,
everyone is a suspect.
All the money's worthless.
The talent is trite and exaggerated.
The food is turning and the water's fucking poison.
And it's rotting your teeth right out of your head,
sight and hearing are quickly faded.
Your gut's expanding, your hairline's receding.
The sores are opening and the cancer's spreading.
And the antibiotics aren't working,
All the drugs are just strangely sobering.
And the skeletons in your closet have opened the door and
they've started talking.

Just like Miami!
Miami!
Fucking Miami.
Miami!

Sharks circling for the feeding.
All hope has been abandoned, like ballots drifting into the ocean.

Just like Miami!
Miami!
Fucking Miami!
Miami!

Sharks circling for the feeding.
All hope has been abandoned, like ballots drifting into the ocean.

Hey!

They're in your room while you're sleeping.
They're in your car behind the seat waiting.
All the rifle sights are on the back of your head.
They're slipping it into your drink when you're not looking.
And they're selling it to you as art.
It's every other word in movies and songs.
All the public is buying,
it's business as usual,
and the business is capitalizing
on your fear, your greed, your perversions and vices.
They say you're guilty, they've got the evidence to prove it.
The mistakes are obvious, the faults are glaring.
The plane is on fire, the fucking ship is sinking.
And you're swept away in a hurricane.
You're buried in the rubble of an earthquake.
It's terminal!
Inoperable!
They're amputating!
Massive hemorrhaging!
Major fucking complications!

Just like Miami!
Miami!
Fucking Miami!
Miami!

Sharks circling for the feeding.
All hope has been abandoned, like ballots drifting into the ocean.

Just like Miami!
Miami!
Fucking Miami!
Miami!

Sharks circling for the feeding.
All hope has been abandoned, like ballots drifting into the ocean.

Miami!


Definitely one of the best songs on SFAFC. It's just got everything going for it: the slow build up, the great imagery, awesome chants, etc.


Also, does anyone else think that this part of the song:

It's terminal!
Inoperable!
They're amputating!
Massive hemorrhaging!
Major fucking complications!

is just fucking epic? Especially the way tom belts out "MAJOR FUCKING COMPLICATIONS!" I just love it

Yeah, I love when he says "Major fucking complications!" It's even better to watch live performances of it because he usually says "MAJOR FUCKING COMPLICATIONS, JAMES!!" and it's my favorite thing ever.

Also, this song makes me really not want to go to Miami.

I love the line "All hope has been abandoned, like ballots drifting into the ocean" so much. Tom is such an amazing songwriter.

FOREVER I thought he was saying "Lou Gherig, Jesus, safe places" instead of "No Guarantees or safe places". Yeah, I don't know either.

Andrew threw up the 305 at me when they played this song in Gainesville, and then he pointed at me during the "no one can be trusted, everyone is a suspect" line.

Andrew kicks ass.
