Cut my hair and wipe my memories
See what kind of man you can make of me
Burn my clothes and the rest of my belongings
Because there’s endless possibilities
To my family I’m sorry but I’ll be more than gone
More than just not around
To all my dear friends you’ll never hear from me again
Because I simply cannot be found
I don’t wanna grow up with you
I don’t wanna settle down with you
I just wanna get old with you
Get wild with you
Without growin’ up or settlin’ down
Where there’s a will there is a testament
This is a testament to all my lonely friends
Who never found a way but anyway I’m sure that they will
I don’t wanna grow up with you
I don’t wanna settle down with you
I just wanna get old with you
Get wild with you
Without growin’ up or settlin’ down
Never settlin’ down

Go to work or go to jail
Just remember a degree costs more than bail
I did everything that I was told
And still ended up a part time janitor
But I gave that shit up a while ago
There’s not much to complain about anymore
Don’t feel like complainin’ anymore
No we’re really not up to complainin’ anymore
Tumbleweeds have gotta tumble
Just like cities gotta crumble
Mumblin’ is kinda humble
So long as long as you stay outta trouble
Well I’ve been called tactless
I’ve been called tasteless
I’ve been called classless
But the fact is
I’ve been crackin’
Because I’m askin’ too many questions
Askin’ what the fuck is happenin’

When I was just a kid
I was already a little piece of shit
Or at least that’s what everyone would say
But I’m a little bigger now
Maybe a little smarter somehow
But other than that not much has changed
I couldn’t even make my own decisions
Before I was thrown into religion
And told never to question or disagree
From an early age everyone could tell
That I would have intentions to rebel
Because I’ve always known that that life isn’t for me
My parents always found it hard to understand why
It was so hard for me to get by
Spending everyday around ignorance and hate
But they always put food on the table
And give me what I need when they were able
I’ve never had to worry if I would be okay
So I don’t know
How could I grow up so privileged and still feel so alone?
I’ve lived my live with the peace of mind knowing I’ll always have a place to go
I wasted my youth around people I don’t like doing things I didn’t like to do
My mom always said “just try to have fun” and it’ll all be over soon
My mom always said “just try to fit in” and it’ll all be over soon
It never ends

My daddy is an uptight catholic preacher
And I just know you’d really piss him off
So let’s work out my daddy issues
Work work out my daddy issues yeah
My mommy’s a conservative millionaire
And I just know you’d really piss her off
So let’s work out my mommy issues
Work work out my mommy issues yeah
Let’s do some freaky freaky shit
In their king-sized bed
Some freaky freaky shit
In their private shower
Freaky freaky shit
Where they can’t get the stains out

War On Love

This week for show and tell
Kids are bringin’ guns, blowin’ em straight to hell
This ain’t nothing strange
It’s happened so many times before
It’s got me wondering if love has lost the war
Everyone’s a target now
So go ahead and mow us down
I ain’t lookin’ back if you still need that gun rack
Just go ahead and mow me down
I fear for the lives of my family and friends
I’m afraid of the people who wanna 'Make America Great Again'
So call your mother and remind her that you love her
Because the war on love has got us killing one another
Everyone’s a target now
So go ahead and mow us down
I ain’t lookin’ back if you still need that gun rack
Just go ahead and mow me down
So pour a shot and make a toast
Drink a whisky for the families who need our love the most
We can still put up a fight without taking up any arms
Because the best weapon we’ve got is in our hearts
No one needs to be a target now
So put your fucking rifle on the ground
No more blood needs to be shed
No more children to be dead
Let’s tear this violent system down
LET’S TEAR THIS VIOLENT SYSTEM DOWN
