Anti-Manifesto

Dance and laugh and play
Ignore the message we convey
It seems we're only here to entertain.

A rebellion cut-to-fit
I refuse to be the soundtrack to it
While we entertain we're still knee-deep in shit.

There's something wrong inside.
We've played it safe, enjoyed the ride.
You won't like this but I've something to confide.

We stride for something more
Than a faded sticker on a skateboard
Now we've rained on your parade
And we're out the door
And I don't even care any fucking more...

Witness this pair in accomplice
Witness this pair, lethargic, unconscious
No brows furrowed in question
Complacent, completing their tasks
(No questions asked).

Consider this critic a cretin
Resting on laurels completely invented
Word acrobatics performed
With both harness and net
I am so full of shit!

But I will remain 'til this self-awareness fades
'Til I defeat the purpose of this soapbox
That you made
That you made...

Hope, perseverance, a vision some doubt
Green ink, a 26, a bad case of big-mouth
A sum of our parts and I've never laughed harder
A song in our hearts and I've never laughed harder
It don't really matter 'cause
Nothing's ever felt as right as this...

By the way, I stole this riff...

Dance and laugh and play
Ignore the message we convey
It seems we're only here to entertain.

A rebellion cut-to-fit
I refuse to be the soundtrack to it
While we entertain we're still knee-deep in shit.

Deep Shit.

I'm so full of it!
