lyrics

False world, fucked world.
Eyes of an enemy.
Ran down to Uglytown and nabbed myself some nothing,
Grabbed up all the nothing I could find.
Treasure it (way), it’s all I got, I’ll share it with the fucking world.
Let’s dance in the sunlight, oh.

Blind life, unkind life.
Darkened like-a brushfire hills.
Those flames of frustration and pain, where did everyone go?

Fifteen years ago I looked at the stars,
and the bastards spoke to me:
“You are as useful as a urinal in a convent”
And I thought, is it that bad?
Food for thought, now I’m sa-ah-ah-ah (toying with the noise gate afflicting vocal in headphone mix)

(A lengthy attempt to channel the world’s despair via guitar)

One, two, three, four…

Let’s you and me get useless drunk and spend all of our money.
There’s so much to buy, barrels of apples of my eye
Piling up all around, so, whoa…
Let’s go down to Uglytown
And get fucked up together

Mike (with last drop of energy): Five minute break, please.

Toss: Heh, heh. Wild. Shit breakin’ everywhere.

Bryan: Heh, heh, heh.

Toss: Great.
