No Pardon

Everybody tells me I act older than I am
I'm just trying to die young while I still can
Always keep a drink in my right hand
Don't want to live another minute in this dried up wasteland

Every day's another circus tracking all these lies
All these preachers on a corner trying to speak their mind
Tell me everything will be just fine
All I've got to do now is make friends with Jesus Christ

All rags
No riches
I'll take
My chances
Don't want
No pardon
Won't take
No part in this

Twenty-seven years, you never spoke a word
Take klonopin like candy, but the feeling's never cured
Called my rep to voice all my concerns
And we never talk directly, but I'm told my voice is heard

Can't see nothin' but the wildfire outside
Coast becomes a massive funeral pyre each night
They say all wounds will heal with time
Now the heretics are buying in and selling for a higher price

All rags
No riches
I'll take
My chances
Don't want
No pardon
Won't take
No part in this

All rags
No riches
I'll take
My chances
Don't want
No pardon
Won't take
No part in this

And nothing here is different
And no one's gonna change
And if it don't affect you, you can look the other way
I'd love to talk this out, man, but I just don't got all day

All rags
No riches
I'll take
My chances
Don't want
No pardon
Won't take
No part in this

All rags
No riches
I'll take
My chances
Don't want
No pardon
Won't take
No part in this
