| Breakin' out the old wailing paddle
|
| Pull the splinters out of your skin
|
| Ice your knuckle, vow revenge
|
| Corporal rule, teach it cruel
|
| Hard times, you missed a grand time
|
| Ingrained acceptance, invisible scars
|
| Take your whippin' like a man and you’ll be a winner yeah
|
| Don’t you wanna shine like the stars
|
| Good boys do good girls don’t
|
| Double standards feeding off the rusty remains of the past
|
| The things we learn from consequence
|
| We’re all just figures messed up in coincidence
|
| You live your life by foolishness
|
| The things we least require take priority
|
| Who listens to the punk rockers anymore?
|
| Spit the fire like before, just like Mark Twain
|
| Play the roles away
|
| Driving past the billboards with the legs that sell
|
| Get yourself a new car & a bottle & the babes will follow you
|
| It’s all just fun you see, no one gets hurt
|
| Why should we question what is commonplace
|
| The things we learn from consequence
|
| We’re all just figures messed up in coincidence
|
| You live your life by foolishness
|
| The things we least require take priority
|
| Play the roles away
|
| …in the classroom, in the back row, some old lecture
|
| …in the locker room, there’s an asshole yellin' at your mom
|
| …on the bar stool, tryin' not to be, but it’s hard to change
|
| …but in the end, who do you think created all the roles that we play? |
