Na na na na na na na na na na na

So far summer's turned out a mess

Burnin' time and papers til there's nothing left to smoke

I started the day at 3:00 PM

Wanderin' my kitchen waitin' til it's time to croak

I think I'm startin' to spoil

Every bad decision makes me stink a little worse

I'm gettin' so fucking bored

But I won't get a job until they shoot me off this high horse

I quit smoking cigarettes until I had a bad day

I can't even finish one without getting a headache

Nauseating daydreams of the same shit I did last year

Barefoot at the party thinking I can sneak the last beer

Oh, oh no, it's happening again

Oh no, it's happening again

Oh, oh no, it's happening again

Oh no, it's happening again

Bus to your apartment in the rain

Polish off your liquor playing songs on the TV

I order food with money I don't have

For a second it'll fill this hunger freezing up inside me

I give thanks for the bottomless pit

In my gut shaped like my people pleasing tendencies

Thanks to you for all that precious time

But if I'm being honest I wish we had never spent it

Feminist whose favorite words are "fat and ugly bitch"

I'm ashamed I got so close with blatant hypocrites

All the shit I should've done is making me a downer

Guilt is self assurance for the weak and I'm a coward

Oh, oh no, it's happening again

Oh no, it's happening again

Oh, oh no, it's happening again

Oh no, it's happening again

There's no discernible reason for the suffering we're living

Not a song we could sing that could fill all the lack

But we've all got to play with the cards that we're given

Sure the dealer's a cheater but we can't give them back

So I am really am better than the last year long bender

Every set back's not a failure it's a part of the thing

And I'm sorry you got caught inside my cult of self-destruction

Yeah I hate you, but I never wanted your suffering

So I quit smoking cigarettes until I had a bad day

I can't even finish one without getting a headache

Nauseating daydreams of the same shit I did last year

Barefoot at the party hoping I could sneak the last beer

Oh, oh no, it's happening again

Oh no, it's happening again

Oh, oh no, it's happening again

Oh no, it's happening again

What happened

My American nightmare?

You've become everything you pretended to hate

Did you find

Yourself a husband?

Did he wash away the inconsistencies inside your brain?

My modern

American princess

You gave up on punk rock, tell me- what else was a phase?

Did it all just

Mean fucking nothing?

The people that you said you loved the principles you claimed

I hope you make a lot of money

Hope you're sleeping well at night

You know not everybody does everything in service of

The fucking optics

Not everyone can live your perfect life

Blame it on how you were raised

Life was hard in different ways

Just keep eating till you're full

Say it's not in your control

Cuz it's not

If you think

You're such an asshole

Why do you get so pissed off when everyone agrees

It's your suburban

Dehumanization

Hurting other people's fine if you don't think they're people at all

I hope you realize

This is how your parents' souls died

You're ignorant in every way you could ever possibly be

A part of the problem

And you don't know what you did wrong

Because you said all the right things

Blame it on how you were raised

Life was hard in different ways

Just keep eating till you're full

Say it's not in your control

I know I'm no fucking saint

We all don't get that luxury

Sorry thinking makes you scared

That's why you pay someone else to care

When those planes hit New York

It unlocked something we haven't seen

In three hundred years, no maybe thirty

It's hard to keep track of the atrocities

That make up my ancestry

Colonies and slavery

Bloodlust burned into the hearts of so called gentle people

That's why my tax dollars go to hospital bombings

I'll wake up to nightmares in just three years

Of American flags flying over the Gaza Strip mall

Buy what you want with someone else's tears

Who says I should pay for that?

Cuz I don't want it anyway

Who says you should pay for that?

You don't want it anyway

When settlers landed on American shores

It unveiled greed never before seen

And it worked so well for God and country

They forced it on every other human being

They thought they'd get the rewards

By opening those brutal doors

All they left with was ennui

What's so different now tell me?

Cuz my tax dollars go to hospital bombings

I wake up to nightmares of centuries

Of native peoples slaughtered for my comfort

And I still live like shit!

My tax dollars go to hospital bombings

I'll wake up to nightmares in just three years

Of American flags flying over the Gaza Strip mall

Buy what you want in the new Trail of Tears

And who says I should pay for that?

Cuz I don't want it anyway

Who says you should pay for that?

No you don't want it anyway

And who tells me that it's not absurd

That my taxes go to slaughter in the name of fucking real estate?

The empire makes us pay for that

The empire makes us pay for that

The older that I get the dumber I become

I'm a product of the global mental decline at the end of civilization

Everyday's a catastrophe that you have to keep track of

I recall more blackouts than who I hung out with last month

And I don't know how much there is to forget

I just hope the damage ain't permanent yet

'Cause we're all feeding ourselves constant bullshit

Until we throw it up

Aren't you tired of gorging yourself on someone else's muck?

Close your eyes and try to remember

Hit the lights on the last time you felt wonder

Halo on Christmas morning I got a Killimanjaro

Rolling around in the dirt at midnight on the Southside

Throwing up from the nasal drip, Hippy got us some water

Maybe life's not so bad it just takes a little bit of time to recall

What it means to be a human being in the 21st century

(guitar)

It's the so called end of history for dopey senile pricks

They forgot about the rest of us in service of their dicks

But I've got a world I'd love to show you

We could go shooting or maybe grow food

I've got a spot I'd love to go to

We could shut up and enjoy the view

I don't really care what we do either way

All that really matters is I can remember yesterday

Close your eyes and try to remember

Hit the lights on the last time you felt wonder

Halo on Christmas morning I got a Killimanjaro

Rolling around in the dirt at midnight on the Southside

Throwing up from the nasal drip, Hippy got us some water

Maybe life's not so bad it just takes a little bit of

Sneaking out of the house and talking shit by the river

Smoking weed on a stranger's porch waiting to get tattoos

Kissing all of my friends and losing most of my friends

In all this beautiful haze

I just might never quite remember it all

That's what it's like to be a human being in the 21st century

You've got to be a human being in the 21st century

You're not my friend anymore so why am I still yours

It's a life of playing catch up

To a billion skinny white boys

I keep dreaming of the summer

Waking up on your apartment couch

For coffee runs and cigarettes

And putting glitter on our sunburnt cheeks

I've been trying to connect with the loved ones I don't see

But I'm getting really scared

That they're over loving me

I've been thinking about death, driving west

Will they bury me in Pittsburgh

Or a desert where they used to share the land

A remnant of a time when you had time to have a home

I can't live here anymore but goddammit

I never check my phone

And when you bury me

It won't matter what you do

It won't matter if

You're doing it for me or you

So keep on moving or you'll stop breathing

Are you running, or just plain leaving

A lifelong rat race that's going nowhere

Sorry that I'm not dealing better with it

You can nail me to a cross and I'll walk it to your street

But I'll be damned if any cops get the satisfaction of catching me

I will burn this city down for a second kiss

I should probably do it anyway but these times are making me selfish

Lay me down in your backyard, let me bleed on your front porch

If you just admit you're scared

I'll slip out fore the light of the morn

I think that I'm depressed but I know that can't be it

Cause we've inherited a world that feeds on our will to live

So I'm sorry if I seem to take it all personally

But living through apocalypse has tanked my functionality

And we've settled for hell

Cause it's only the first ring

So don't say I'm being crazy when I ask for a way out of this thing

Keep on moving or you'll stop breathing

Are you running or just plain leaving

A lifelong rat race that's going nowhere

Sorry that I'm not dealing better with it

I've been feeling like a shark

Born just in time to see the oil spill

I've been feeling like a shark

Swimming in circles cause there's nowhere to go

I've been feeling like a shark

Born just in time to see the oil spill

I've been feeling like a shark

Swimming in circles cause there's nowhere to go

Keep on moving or you'll stop breathing

Are you running or just plain leaving

A lifelong rat race that's going nowhere

Sorry that I'm not dealing better with

Constant moving and labored breathing

Don't stop running but please don't leave me

Can you kill it before it eats you

A constant reminder there's always a bigger shark

You're not my friend anymore so why am I still yours

I'm so tired of playing catchup

But my baseline is so poor

It's another fact of life

Like how people grow apart

But just cause it's the way things are

Doesn't mean we have to act like it's ok
