Diminishing Returns Lyrics - Harvey Danger

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 cooler 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 anoint 

No more noses to bend out of joint 

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

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
