Lyrics Not the Way - Cass McCombs

Not the Way

Contempt for all
A vocabulary vow
Sifting ash
Can’t see in from out
First to know, quick to criticize
Blow by blow, cutting boxer eyes
That’s not the way…
That’s not the way to make…
That’s not the way to make… friends
Contempt for love
And everything you’ve drowned
I know these words can be turned around
I know you think
Politeness is what I need
Well I don’t, but it might as well have been
That’s not the way…
That’s not the way to make…
That’s not the way to make… friends
That’s not the way…
That’s not the way to make…
That’s not the way to make… friends
