No Trespassing Waltz
and it's true that we're teenage fools
trading five days a week to work and school
just to sneak around on weekends watching for the cops
and waltz in abandoned parking lots
[THIS PART SOUNDS BEST WITH POWER CHORDS]
and call these cracks in the system a revolution
but to the vanguard party that's criticizing:
what have you been up to since the Soviet Union?
when you're not starving
life is just the mechanics of eating
[BACK TO REGULAR CHORDS]
[x4]
talking to you is raw eternity, but what isn't these days?
and if our only gift is this dark black void, well to me that's okay
cuz our nihilism is the terrorist wing of youthful apathy
burn everything down just to drink in the ruins of what used to be an
American city
so if it's all the same, then I'll pass out tonight still hating punk
rock
but in love with you and the kitchen floor that you let me sleep on
[USE POWER CHORDS AGAIN]
there's whiskey in my bottle, and you know there's enough for you
I'll join you in that grave your digging if there's room enough for two
where there's no risk of death
life is just the logistics of breath
[REGULAR CHORDS AGAIN]
[x4]
tomorrow I'll wake up in a ditch with every friend that ever meant
anything
on the opposite side of the country
but I still wouldn't trade anything for the nights when the rain
promised
us at 2 AM
in some burnout industrial shell of a town that we'd never be dry
again
[POWER CHORDS]
and I'll keep walking and running and drinking towards a day that I
can
see
suicide as a tragedy
