At the Drive-In - No wolf like the present

Verse 1
In a safe house he baits, can you blame the conniving
Bludgeoned by the prowler cars
He's been running since the day that they tagged his skin
A walking cipher kicking calendars

Pre-Chorus
He hears the sirens
He hears his song play everyday, yeah

Verse 2
From Potemkin mills, where the winds erase
They use our past to evict us
In a land that stole, a kestrel from the knave
Smothered inmates full at capacity

Pre-Chorus
He hears the sirens
He hears his song play everyday
It's open season check the body cam

Chorus
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance


Bridge
Tantivy run

Verse 3
He's been on the lam so long he knows the rules of the hunt
Carving X's into bullets for luck
While the veneer of civilization grinds
Light bulbs into his food supply

Pre-Chorus
He hears the sirens
He hears his song play everyday
It's open season check the body cams

Chorus
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance

Bridge
Tantivy run
Tantivy run

Chorus
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance

Outro
There's no wolf like the present
There's no wolf like the start
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance
Tantivy run
