i was a jerk the other night
and i thought that i could put up a fight
with the common sense out of sight
i slipped up
and i don't know anything
jerk philosophically
and your anger was meant to decrease
and i'll feed you information that you don't need
with your heart full of envy and greed
well you've been walking around like you think you're so nice
you've been preaching to choirs like you're jesus christ
but you don't know what you're doing in this town
well we've been protesting authority since age five
i was a catalyst to the girls and guys
but i don't know what you're singing while i'm around

I've been trying so hard to leave this summer
go out and go far
been trying to just escape the bummer that i don't have a car
I've been wasted, how do we live this way?
why's your face red? know you know to say!
i can tie this lasso 'round the moon
to prove i can pay the rent in june
we can all stay true
to the fact that we'll all die soon
we've been running around new paltz and we
just got out of that apartment, smoked weed couldn't sleep
cut the shit now, well is running dry
hopefully over, walk right up and pass me by
had me when you corrected, me for saying something when i was only fifteen years old
lost your way at a show, thought i could be the only one that could walk you home
i'm like a package, travelling fast, just an angsty banana peel, pile of emotional distress
a sweaty mess, the kind you read about with lack of discomfort
risks i've taken to be in the arms, i will walk around for miles and ward off all the harm
i'd watch it burn, listen to you speak, now i'm finally standing stoic truly writing in the pool of the week

Shitty Person

well i'm a shitty person
putting on a facade
i've been burning down unstable bridges
made of lincoln logs
a hateful ungrateful person objectively
well i'm a lying liberal with painted nails
been throwing my pennies at peace
well do you know how hard it is to drive down the river jordan
well the nile's stream is longer and that fucker jordan's boring
well i'll wish you all the best my friends
in your travels tonight
i'll be the joke to your punchline, and stand right by your side
while you kill that man

you, with your head down
well there's a devil on your shoulder, he only wants to see you drown
its you, a failure's son
well, i will never be there while you wait
i will never be there while the risks you're willing to take
will eventually die
all around
you were beaten and arrested by the pigs downtown
and its not a social construct
buildings on fire, headaches on fire, universe on fire
i will never go down to the shop
on fire, headaches and fire, emotions on fire
i will never go down to the shop
and you're sitting in your cocoon
spending money on the tattoos
and i can't explain the things that you forgot
like a bowl of spaghetti, like walking home with a machete
and i can't explain the things that you dont want
i will never talk again to you, right here right now, its not worth it
i will never talk again to you, right in the shower, on a cloud

Car Sick

groups of folks assembling, the riots in the streets will bring
i don't want to hear all of that bullshit, like i'm swimming in a fucking ballpit
we can avoid petty things, like diamonds, rubies, wedding rings
i don't want to hear all of that bullshit, like i'm swimming in a fucking ballpit
organize and assemble too, the salt that penetrates the wound
we won't stop scheming til we're free
wipe the blood right off the floors, kids under all these trap doors
we won't stop scheming til we're free
do you want to cure the mess and give your hand to the oppressed
i don't want to hear all of that bullshit, like i'm swimming in a fucking ballpit
enemies on foreign grounds will fight back when they hear the sound
i don't want to hear all of that bullshit, like i'm swimming in a fucking ballpit
when you put your head down, to a world that won't accept simple pronouns
i won't stop til i die, the roads that stretch ahead of us will never know why
we must escape the structures, of white collared workers and star crossed lovers
goodbye
reagan's blood around the bones, punk rock kids and fascist clones will die

and this is final
i'm finally gonna die
its communal
you're drinking your own blood and some wine
never expected anything with us
making shitty puns then making love
its harder than it seems in the bed of morals
the voices in your dreams are all singing choral
and its harder to write our way to 666 tonight
i'll be the devil on your mind
gag me in plain site
and tell me what we're doing is wrong
just some raging queer kids
and we'll sing our own protest songs
