lyrics

Say you got nothing of your own, burn that history to the bone. It’s a lousy chorus that I’ve heard a million times before. Spare me the hyperbole, the similes in your melodies, another useless metaphor won’t pick your ass up off the floor.

And yeah I feel sorrier for you, hit the bottom, you just fell through. Now you kick and kick, drag and drag, while waiting for a heart attack. And everyday it’s all the same, a brand new coat on the same old game, nickel and dime they do it all the time, and I know you’re tired of waiting in line.

So you better call up the medicine man, better have that fun while you still can. These days the truth is cheap but hard to sell. And all your happy everafters, I just pray that you die fist. You and all the lies sell. Drowning in the wishing well.

Now praise the lord and pass the speed whatever kind of religion you need. Because up on stage you pay to bleed, at least not for the likes of you. And all your values are bought and sold, all your heroes are growing old. With arthritis in your rebel fist, you whine and you cry like a dirty little son of a bitch.

FUCK THE ARTIST AND FUCK THE ART. GODDAMN WHY DO I EVEN START. IF IT’S A RACE FIRST YOU GOTTA PLACE AND MAN I JUST AINT IN THAT KINDA SHAPE. NOW ALL THE SINGERS WITH THEIR EYES ALL WIDE HAVE SCARS ON THEIR ARMS LIKE A BADGE OF PRIDE AND IT KIND OF MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANNA DIE BUT YOU GO AND TELL EVERYONE YOUR FINE. HAVE TWO OR THREE BEERS WHEN YOU GO TO A SHOW. THERE’S A NOOSE IN YOUR CLOSET BUT NOBODY KNOWS. THAT LONELY FEELINGS EBBS AND FLOWS AND YOU START TO FEEL LIKE IT’S TIME TO GO. BECAUSE YOUR BACK ALWAYS HURTS. YOU ALWAYS FEEL SICK. BEDROOM WALLS ARE ALL COVERED IN SHIT. AND YOU GO TO WORK AND YOUR BOSS IS A PRICK AND YOU WOULD RATHER BE DEAD THAN LIVING LIKE THIS.

rather be dead than living like this.
