Rise and Shine (8/4, more clear lyrics) &amp; updated lyrics

sorry for yet another post about this song (but it's just amazing), here's the best version i've seen yet. the lyrics are much clearer and thanks to the help of u/hughesy1, u/NoJaguar4173 and u/Happihippi11 - the lyrics are (i believe) as close as possible to accurate with what we know

VERSE 1

1 take me to your stash of participation trophies
2 show me all your cash, show me all your ponies*
3 take me to your dreams, take me to your locker
4 i won't say a word, you know i ain't a talker
5 life is a limited time offer
6 it's takin'* me a while, i'm a first time shopper
7 all that glitters isn't gold, it's barely even copper
8 the golden age is strange, i think it needs a doctor (now)*

CHORUS

9 hey! rise and shine
10 you get yours, i'll get mine
11 catch a fallingnation (depends on which rendition)
12 put it in your pocket now
13 hey! rise and shine
14 you get yours, i'll get mine
15 guess we're goin' down now
16 see ya at the bottom
17 everybody's got dreams
18 smoke 'em if you got 'em

VERSE 2

19 take me to your leader, is he really orange
20 put me in the wagon*, roll me down the gorge
21 in to the pit, we're gonna sail
22 get the metaldysentery on the poregontrail
23 there's a stegosaurus, t-rex, plastic in the porridge
24 the future don't exist when you think you're just a tourist*
25 death cult, temple, (lockin' up the dream/rockin' with the beat‡)
26 i love you, careful with that axe eugene

[repeat chorus] [guitar solo]

VERSE 3

27 took a swig of kool-aid, hubris of a big dog
28 barkin' up the wrong tree, pissin' off the wrong god
29 history's a tall tale, if we're being honest
30 you know it's gettin' haunted by the ghost of pocahontas
31 go ahead and do it now, don your gay apparel
32 somethings gotta give 'cause it's all a little sterile
33 i'm on a mission now, gonna free my mind
34 everybody's gettin' there, they're goin' on their own time (whoa!)

[repeat chorus]

Rise and Shine lyrics

with jesse casually sneaking a new song into a couple of his recent sets (rise and shine, 8/1 and 8/4), i had an idea. i love a good puzzle, so i wanted to try to figure out some of his lyrics in the song for myself, which aren't always clear in the recordings. the best quality one available, thanks to the findings of u/Infinite-Picture-862 (who has tirelessly been searching up and down for song recordings of all of Jesse's shows on this tour, as well as setlists - a remarkable feat), is this recording from 8/4. this is a great song and i hope it makes an album. anyways, here are the lyrics i was able to discern. please add your opinions if you find anything different in your listening - most lines i struggled to make any words out clearly.

6 it's takin'* me a while, i'm a first time shopper
7 all that glitters isn't gold, it's barely even copper
8 the golden age is strange, i think it needs a doctor (now)*

CHORUS

9 hey! rise and shine
10 you get yours, i'll get mine
11 catch/pitch a fallen nation (depends on which rendition)
12 put it in your pocket now
13 hey! rise and shine
14 you get yours, i'll get mine
15 guess we're goin' down now
16 see ya at the bottom
17 everybody's got dreams
18 smoke 'em if you got 'em

23 there's a stegosaurus, t-rex, plastic in the porridge
24 the future don't exist when you think you're just a tourist/Torus *
25 death cult, temple, (lockin' up the dream/rockin' with the beat‡)
26 i love you, careful with that axe eugene

[repeat chorus] [guitar solo]

29 history's a tall tale, if we're being honest
30 you know it's gettin' haunted by the ghost of pocahontas
31 go ahead and do it now, time to* get feral (OR don your gay feral‡)
32 somethings gotta give 'cause it's all a little sterile
33 i'm on a mission now, gonna free my mind
34 everybody's gettin' there, they're goin' on their own time (whoa!)
