Well im afraid that the circles ive been drinking myself in

Arent big enough for the vowels that

I try to fit inside of them.

When i was young i drank too much and id be lying if i said

I didnt feel so goddamn young tonight.

Maybe too young to ask whats on my mind.

Like if freedom means doing what i want

Well dont i gotta want something?

And wont you tell me that we want something more than just more beer?

And my friends if that aint true wont you lie to me tonight?

Well ive been listening to minor threat records all day

And shit if i do not know every word.

I sing along as i tie off.

And ian screams hes oeout of step

As i throw the cotton into the spoon draw up into the syringe.

Ill know just what he means until i hit a vein.

But after that i wont have to bother with knowing who i am

For a while at least.

In a moment the whole world is gonna melt around me

And ill swear i dont miss it as a i lie to you tonight.

Because im afraid to look the world in the eye.

If nothings gonna change well then id rather die.

And im too unemployed to organize a union.

Im too intoxicated to tear down a building.

Im too hopeless to look for a solution im afraid that if i found one

Id be out of excuses for the way

I waste away in the gutters that i chose

Like fashion accessories to go with my dirty clothes.

I havent bathed in months but you know its not because

Ive been fighting bourgeois morals im just lazy and im young.

Ive seen the best minds of my generation

Dying drunk or high from the rooftops to the parking lots

Stomped to death in west philadelphian squats.

Theyve got me waiting on a day when we can say oefuck the police!

With a little bit of integrity

When it will mean: oeive got your back if youve got mine!

Give me a scene where i believe in more

Than bad hair cuts guilt and misery.

I dont know where i fit between the vegans and the nihilists

That might be the first thing ive said that wasnt a lie tonight.

Because theres gotta be something more

Than lying in the front yard naked screaming at the constellations.

I want something more than an apology to say

When i look the world in the eye.

Ill tell you man my friend william came to me with a message of hope.

It went: oefuck you and everything that you think you know.

If you dont step outside the things that you believe

Theyre gonna kill you.

He said: oeno ones gonna stop you from dying young and miserable and right.

If you want something better you gotta put that shit aside.

I thought about how for thousands of years

There have been people who told us that things cant go on like this

From jesus christ to the diggers from malthus to zerzan

From karl marx to huey newton

But the shit goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

Now im not saying that we cant change the world

'cause everybody does at least a little bit of that.

But i wont shit myself the way im living is a temper tantrum and i

Need something else need something else need something else to stay alive.

And on the night that i play my last show ill be

Singing so loud that my heart explodes.

And ill be singing ill be singing: 'we are free!'

Oh but wont you promise me that we wont ever

Forget what the means?

I know its hard to give a shit sometimes but promise me well always try.

'cause i dont wanna hate you and i dont wanna hate me

And i dont wanna have to hate everything anymore.
