This unavoidable introduction to the record, is an energetic and satiric identity affirmation, as artists and musicians. It is a fearless and humorous declaration that expresses the struggles, shortcomings, expectations and preconceptions of making a career in the arts, but also a celebration of our passion and drive to create. Sing with us, join our guitars, nod your head, shake your head, make yourself at home.
lyrics
I’ve had enough of that today and I've seen it coming
I had enough of that today and I hold it
I don't think it's uncommon or hard to
find reasons to talk about
false bottoms
are you coming in?
false ceilings,
modern, or so it seems
good for a nap on a weekday
I can't stay much longer, what are you trying to say?
tips on a diet, certified and safe
but it's dull and it's failing
oh the stakes
he's in a harbor, it's your fault
turning my head ever since
how many people have you seen here today
are they following what I'm trying to say
cause it's common, hard living when you're trying to be just
you want to be the softest form of
the side of you that's keeping the score
are you a? oh what's he trying to save you for?
six feet from the bar
well you're silent, sir, are you a musician?
sing something for us now
go to hell
here they come, late when it's hard to say
I'm here, I'm a wall and you can lay your hot head
think of what you said, when the problem
ain't the stain on the carpet
I'm trying, can you follow my line of thought
I don't perceive your faults
as bad intentions
or out of place
☺︎
sing something for us now
go to hell
