lyrics

I tried to roll my own cigs
But it was way too hard
And I still buy my produce
From the local Walmart
I’d love to tell you
I’m speaking from the heart
But it’s so easy to lie
And call it art


I should call this song
Words of a hyprcrite
Because I get my kicks
Feeding you bullshit


You can’t write a song
And call it resistance
And you can’t sing along
And call it commitment


I would rob a bank
But I don’t think I’d last in jail
And I’d start a revolution
But I’m not sure what that entails
I would look for a solution
But I’m part of the problem
Because I’ll call out every issue
But singing songs is no way to solve them
….
…..


I should call this song
My best disguise
Because I get off
On feeding you lies

If I’m not a liar
I’ll set something on fire
I’ll spit in the face of the next person
Who tells me that I’m hired

Punk until I die
Show me that’s not a lie

I know it’s bliss
But the only thing worse than ignorance
Is knowing how bad things are
And not doing a damn thing about it
