You're not Salinger. Get over It.
We're finding out some scummy fuck just threw it in a fifteen year old
I mean come on, man, is that the life you want?
They're tearing up these dead-end blocks
Revealing all the shit we wish we forgot
In the shadow of this careless urban sprawl
My friends and I, we're all fucked on the inside
(My friends and I, we're all fucked on the inside)
My friends and I, we're all fucked on the inside
But we don't let it run our lives
One day, I'll cough all of this shit out of my lungs
From second hand smoking at all night restaurants
And they'll be up in arms over all the shit we've done
Because we're getting out, we're fucking gone
This caustic suburban sense of humor's gotten me in trouble more than a few times
We're singing "Lucky" by Little League, fucking up until we get this right
Just cause we're down, doesn't mean we've gotta stay there
This fucking town is like a ship gone underwater
And we'll all drown unless we cut ties to the anchor
We'd get swallowed here
One day, I'll cough all of this shit out of my lungs
From second hand smoking at all night restaurants
And they'll be up in arms over all the shit we've done
Because we're getting out, we're fucking gone
(So chin up and we'll drown a little slower hey) [x12]
'Cause I'm bad at staying calm, and I know this town's a time bomb
And we've been dragging our feet too long, too long
We've been sinking all along
One day, I'll cough all of this shit out of my lungs
From second hand smoking at all night restaurants
And they'll be up in arms over all the shit we've done
Because we're getting out
I mean come on, man, is that the life you want?
They're tearing up these dead-end blocks
Revealing all the shit we wish we forgot
In the shadow of this careless urban sprawl
My friends and I, we're all fucked on the inside
(My friends and I, we're all fucked on the inside)
My friends and I, we're all fucked on the inside
But we don't let it run our lives
One day, I'll cough all of this shit out of my lungs
From second hand smoking at all night restaurants
And they'll be up in arms over all the shit we've done
Because we're getting out, we're fucking gone
This caustic suburban sense of humor's gotten me in trouble more than a few times
We're singing "Lucky" by Little League, fucking up until we get this right
Just cause we're down, doesn't mean we've gotta stay there
This fucking town is like a ship gone underwater
And we'll all drown unless we cut ties to the anchor
We'd get swallowed here
One day, I'll cough all of this shit out of my lungs
From second hand smoking at all night restaurants
And they'll be up in arms over all the shit we've done
Because we're getting out, we're fucking gone
(So chin up and we'll drown a little slower hey) [x12]
'Cause I'm bad at staying calm, and I know this town's a time bomb
And we've been dragging our feet too long, too long
We've been sinking all along
One day, I'll cough all of this shit out of my lungs
From second hand smoking at all night restaurants
And they'll be up in arms over all the shit we've done
Because we're getting out
