Dance and laugh and play ignore the message we convey
It seems we’re only here to entertain
A rebellion cut-to-fit I refuse to be the soundtrack to it
While we entertain we’re still knee-deep in shit
There’s something wrong inside
We’ve played it safe, enjoyed the ride
You won’t like this but I’ve something to confide
We stand for something more than a faded sticker on a skateboard
Now we’ve rained on your parade and we’re out the door
And I don’t even care any fucking more
Witness this pair in accomplice
Witness this pair; lethargic, unconscious
No brows furrowed in question, complacent, completing their tasks
(no questions asked)
Consider this critic a cretin,
Just resting on laurels completely invented
Word acrobatics performed with both harness and net
I am so full of shit
But I will remain until this self-awareness fades
Until I defeat the purpose of this soapbox that you made
That you made
Hope, perseverance, a vision (some doubt)
Green ink, a 26 oz, a bad case of big-mouth
A sum of our parts and I’ve never laughed harder
A song in our hearts and I’ve never laughed harder
It don’t really matter cuz nothing’s ever felt as right as this
(by the way, I stole this riff)
