lyrics

He's on a bus heading up to Rosario
He hears that there's work to be had up there
It's been a long night and he stops off at a Whiskería

They all file out of the bus with their hoods down against the rain
He passes by an unmanned kiosk
and he sees a Clarín there and it's starin' out at him
and it's shoutin' out and it says

You'll never
Fill your pockets
You'll never
Fill your pockets
This fear
Dance with it
This hunger
You learn to live with it

We all learn
We all live with it

He takes a seat and fumbles around with his metal
One look at the waiter and all he can say is, "Man,
I got enough for about three empanadas, but not a dime more.
I haven't even got a place to sleep tonight."
And they both look up at the television screen
And it's TN
and it's shoutin' out at 'em
and it says

You'll never
Fill your pockets
You'll never
Fill your pockets
This fear
Dance with it
This hunger
You learn to live with it

We all learn
We all live with it

And your stomach opens up like a flower in the night
And the fly, the last nightmare, get down in your coffee
But you drink it down to the dregs
because it's the last one
To last for a week
They tell you there is no possible alternative to this world we are living in
They say there is not alternate way outta this
and then they say this is the new happiness

They call this the new happiness

And the waiter says, "yeah, man, things have gotten bad;
I mean I voted for the man
but I never thought it'd get to be like this.

Why don't you come on back after midnight
I can leave you this key
Keep an eye out for the night watchman.
I'll leave you these blankets out by the door.

You'll never
Fill your pockets
You'll never
Fill your pockets
This fear
Dance with it
This hunger
You learn to live with it
