Wailing Paddle |
| Hangin' up the old wailing paddle |
| Pull the splinters out of your skin |
| Ice your knuckles, vow revenge, corporal gruel, teaching cruel |
| Hard times, you missed a grand crime |
| Ingrained acceptance, invisible scars |
| Take a 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 mudrakers anymore? |
| Spit the fire like before, just like Mark Twain |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Driving past the billboards with the legs that sell |
| Get yourself a new car and a bottle and 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, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away, play the roles away |
| Play the roles away in the classroom |
| In the back row, same old lecture |
| Play the roles away in the locked room |
| There’s an asshole yellin' at your mom |
| Play the roles away on the bar stool |
| Tryin' not to be, but it’s hard to change |
| Play the roles away, but in the end |
| Wondering who ever stared all the roles that we play? |
| Woah-oh-oh-oh-e-oh-oh |
| Woah-oh-oh-oh-e-oh-oh |
| Woah-oh-oh-oh-e-oh-oh |
| Woah-oh-oh-oh-e-oh-oh |
