Other Bomethius
Garbage Men (Hell on Earth)

This is what Dallas traffic has done to me.

Written and performed by Jonathan Hodges.
Recorded with the generous help of Nick Farmer.

Lyrics:

If we all woke up tomorrow as garbage men… Would we say
that was part of God’s plan?

Were we to be content, wouldn’t that be a waste?
But weren’t we supposed to get rid of the waste?

Is life a progression of wasted opportunity,
or are we right where we’re supposed to be?

Shouldn’t we be scared?

All around me I see misplaced confidence… But does it really have a place? (It can sleep on my couch)

I don’t wanna be redundant.
Aren’t we redundant?

Chorus:
So I’ll cry in the shower, get it all out, (less of a mess)
it doesn’t really even matter what it’s all about. (What’s it all about?)

It’s nothing in particular,
But it’s everything at once.

Sometimes I think hell is being shown what you could’ve been if you hadn’t been or done that one thing. That it’s being made fully aware of just what a failure you really were. You really are. You really will be.
