Wailing Paddle |
| 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? |
