Radicals
It's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you should have just known
That once you break it you've bought it
And once you've bought it it's breakable
In town at the bar there's a calendar
From 1933
It's been hanging there for decades
Since sobriety lost to reality
Sometimes I sit in the corner
And invent stories and all of them crimes
Of pretty girls kidnapped by radicals
That fall in love with them after a time
Well, it's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you should just've known
That once you break it you've bought it
And once you've bought it it's breakable
Once you've bought it it's breakable
At the edge of town where the streetlights drown
And the highway melts into the dark
Built me a shack with a porch out the back
Where I sit and shoot bottles like question marks
Sometimes you wonder at yourself
And how it is you're still alive
And done all them things you never thought
Like kissing ass and calling it compromise
In town at the bar there's an exit
That leads back to something before
Pretty girls who were kidnapped by radicals
That took from them all that they stood for
Well, it's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you never did know
That once you break it you bought it
And once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah
It's more that you should have just known
That once you break it you've bought it
And once you've bought it it's breakable
In town at the bar there's a calendar
From 1933
It's been hanging there for decades
Since sobriety lost to reality
Sometimes I sit in the corner
And invent stories and all of them crimes
Of pretty girls kidnapped by radicals
That fall in love with them after a time
Well, it's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you should just've known
That once you break it you've bought it
And once you've bought it it's breakable
Once you've bought it it's breakable
At the edge of town where the streetlights drown
And the highway melts into the dark
Built me a shack with a porch out the back
Where I sit and shoot bottles like question marks
Sometimes you wonder at yourself
And how it is you're still alive
And done all them things you never thought
Like kissing ass and calling it compromise
In town at the bar there's an exit
That leads back to something before
Pretty girls who were kidnapped by radicals
That took from them all that they stood for
Well, it's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you never did know
That once you break it you bought it
And once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it it's breakable
Yeah
