Made in the Shade Lyrics

[Chorus: Modest Mouse]
Ice age, heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Went to the porch to have a thought
Got to the door, and again, I couldn't stop

[Verse 1]
Ice age, heat wave
I would see eight cold case, storming the beach like it was D-Day
Girls were beach waves, soaking up beach ray
Yeah, you know I’m loving the Summer just like a Jean Grеy
Pen ready to flame-throw, so drop thе beat
I’m Clark Kent when payphones are obsolete
Sipping Blue Moon, bumping Flight Distance
Sonny lay out looking something like Liston
I used to be such a Debbie Downer
A strong chin, but I have yet to counter
Father time got me grateful when I check the hours
I know life’s a bitch, but somebody you gotta get her flowers
So here I am every 5:22
Greys in the hair, losing signs of the youth
Can’t run from the facts, can’t hide from the truth
High time for a brew, what’s a guy gonna do?
[Chorus: Modest Mouse]
Ice age, heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Went to the porch to have a thought
Got to the door, and again, I couldn't stop

[Verse 2]
A floor model, late night TV shows
In living colors when we needed jokes
Your mama is so poor, our mama was poor, we ain’t know
My hand-me-downs were some Yeezy clothes
Being broke is not so bad, when you’re oblivious
Teen-years when it really hits
When you can’t afford Tommy and pay late
It dawned on me: probably eighth grade
But now man I came a long way
I travel like a Ferdinand
Still battle to preserve the brand
Box with me, but still dapping with the merching hand
Still factually the working man
Big shot, every city, shit I feel like O'Ree
Poke High, nose high, get myself a glory
Tell you “I’m the shit,” or my kid will tell you for me
Rags to middle-class, this is Cinde-Weller story
[Chorus: Modest Mouse]
Ice age, heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Went to the porch to have a thought
Got to the door, and again, I couldn't stop

[Verse 3]
Great news, fake news, pick you a network
Got it? Cool. This is your wet-nurse
In America, everyone’s political experts
The same kids listen to Fred Durst
Sit back, relax, and stop being so militant
Tryna find who the villain is
Take every minute and find something passionate to fill it with
And thank God that you still exist

[Chorus: Modest Mouse]
Ice age, heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Went to the porch to have a thought
Got to the door, and again, I couldn't stop
