lyrics

I continue to be unimpressed by the wisdom I do not possess. I struggle to form these sentences, half the time. How can their words be so succinct? It's getting to the point where I'm starting to think that spitting vulgar nonsense is my only option. Well, those guys are hardcore, and those guys are punk-rock, and I think that they hate me, because why should they not? I take something that they hold dear and turn it into something that goes down easy, and cheap, and half-wit, and dull. If I die before I wake, and these six strings remain intact, you'll have conclusive evidence that I'm a fucking hack. The much more preferred, rock star-esque way to go is spending thousands of dollars in some designer drug overdose. So I'm making all my plans, and I won't be discrete. I'll die right fucking here screaming all my stupid songs from my stinky feet. What I'm trying to do is question standards and be honest. I'm no punker demigod, and I'm sure as shit not a prophet. I wanna busy my idle hands with more constructive things to do than fucking palm-mutes, and middle fingers in a tired-ass fuck you. I wanna bleed my own blood, I want gorgeous things to see, like a thousand fucking kids going dancing in the streets. And they won't listen to their parents who'll tell them to get a job, or cut their hair, or shower or whatever. So I think before we tackle, what's lying down the road, we'd better make goddamn sure that everything's okay at home.
