lyrics

Our little tribe is just a microcosm
for the world at large we've all got the same problems
we all want to eat
we all want to feed our addictions

It's just that yours is a TV screen, ours is malt liquour
I don't know which one is killin brain cells quicker but
I'd rather destroy myself than just wither away

so I'll let caos be my compass
my gut will be my guide
I'm on the brink of death but I've never felt more alive
We'll be living in Utiopia
a few moments at a time
with long intervals of Hell in between

Social Deviants on the forefronts of freedom
your products are a prison and we know we don't need 'em
because we've got each other, though it might be fleeting
We're all locked in one cage or another
but I know that we can all help each other
if we stay alive we'll be in love
but if we die it'll be in each other's arms

We'll be living in Utopia
a few moments at a time
with long intervals of Hell in between
Rebellion ain't no fun
but having fun is my favorite form of rebellion
we'll learn the difference between looking good and being beautiful

Those night we shared are the only thing I care about
sharing love and sorrow
sharing stories and 40oz
because we don't know where we'll end up tomorrow
and these people walk in and out of my life
just long enough for people to learn to love them
now my heart is scattered through time and space
I guess that's what you get when you're always running away

So I'll let caos be my compass
my gut will be my guide
I'm on the brink of death but I've never felt more alive
If I fail at least I tried
I'll retreat with my hands pointed towards the sky
to the place
where the outcasts go to die
