it's not the straw

that broke the camels back

it's the idea

that one could take that much abuse

or the feeling, that you don't care



{you think..}



hold her like you'd hold a cactus

and be a rainmaker in the desert

with a stone or an axe

it's not the straw that broke the camels back



pour out your cantene

some sips for the dead

and all the while

leave the living thirsty

all the while, leave the living dead



{you just..}



hold them like you'd hold a cactus

and be a rainmaker in the desert

with a stone or an axe

it's not the straw that broke the camels back



it's not the straw that broke the camels back



it's not life itself that's draining

at the end of the plastic straw, you're sipping

and so ferociously

with your angel glow in your easy bake oven

with your angel shine in your hummer past the



starving



it's not the straw

that broke the camels back

it's the idea

that one could take that much abuse

or the feeling, that you don't care



{you live to}



hold her like you'd hold-

hold him like you'd hold-

hold them like you'd hold a cactus

and be a rainmaker in the desert

with a stone or an axe

it's not the straw that broke the camels back



it's not the straw that broke the camels back
