| Shut the fuck up, that’s enough today
 | 
| You made your point, I can’t make mine and that’s the way we’re gonna keep it,
 | 
| bro
 | 
| Get out, get out fast, that’s my only chance
 | 
| I have no skills but pleasing teenagers with a melody they’ll soon forget
 | 
| So let’s have a conversation, thank you Jesus
 | 
| Someone lives big and we’ve got, got coattails to burn
 | 
| And when they tell me my convictions did not pay the rent this month
 | 
| Stop your whining and write a better song
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit
 | 
| Shit, man, I fell hard, hard on for a dream
 | 
| My desperate attempt to bastardize a perfectly good medium
 | 
| Conjure up one more conversation whore, thank the fucking lord that someone’s
 | 
| living goddamn large
 | 
| And we’ve got, got coattails to burn
 | 
| My landlord said that my convictions did not pay the rent this month
 | 
| Find an office and stop writing these songs (the neighbors are complaining)
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit
 | 
| And contrary to how young we wanna stay
 | 
| We’re getting older every day
 | 
| So shut the power off
 | 
| Go do something
 | 
| Regardless of how young we wanna stay
 | 
| We’re getting older every day
 | 
| Shut the power off
 | 
| And stake your claim
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists get tired of eating shit
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
 | 
| Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit |
