Lyrics Harvey Danger - Diminishing Returns

The king of the swinging moves is back in town

And everybody's tiptoeing around him

Surround him, as he

Pounds a silver hammer

Drops a revolutionary grammar

Concerning the burning of city hall

And urban sprawl and decay

*Farewell to the day

Of having it both ways

Hell is other people

Some people never learn

When optimism fails

And my cooler head prevails

I will meet you at the point of diminishing returns

Down in the abstract

Looking for a concrete artifact

Something to hold on to

Not one more thing to believe in

Stuck in a fallback

And fighting off a heart attack

And you're so tangible

Like a nitroglycerin tablet

Under my tongue

Farewell to the day

Of having it both ways

The boom's a bust-out

But thanks for your concern

When pessimism fails and

My coooler head prevails

I will meet you at the point of diminishing returns

Progress shall be defined

By your position on the bridge

As it burns

When populism, activism, urbanism fail

My cooler head, my cooler head will prevail

When there are no more gods left to annoit

No more noses to bend out of joint

I'm gonna meet you at the point of diminishing returns
