Holy Shit

Holy Shit

Against Me!
(album: Searching For A Former Clarity)

I am oh so fascinated,
I am oh so entertained,
Standing here like a comedian,
I repeat what I say, again and again and again
until the meaning has become an imitation of itself,
An impression of an original defeats the fucking purpose.
I don´t know where this is going,
but it´s looking more and more like the same place that we started.

Oh good God, holy shit, the joke´s on us, not on them.
Kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.

Oh good God, holy shit, the joke´s on us, not on them.
Kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.

And everybody´s watching the lead singer in the band.
The guitars exploding to a drumbeat that´s driving.
It´s pretty fucking boring, oh don´t you think?
And of all the things we´d ask,
of all the ways we´d like for it to be,
they´re just drunken conversations,
song lyrics sung at the top of our lungs so desperately.
Like I believe in a power that is of and by the people?
I believe in an art that cannot be compromised.
I believe all will endure, and all will overcome.
And I will sing it until I no longer remember the reason.
What was the reason?

Oh good God, holy shit, joke´s on us, not on them.
Kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.

Oh good God, holy shit, joke´s on us, not on them.
Kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.
