Life of a Match |
| Went back to clean my closet out |
| The folks finally decided to try and sell the house |
| And the bands on all my shirts |
| Had all since broken up or |
| Adopted a more commercial sound |
| I can’t blame them I guess |
| Still threw them in the trash |
| (Don't you ever wish) |
| Our generation |
| Made anything worth saving |
| Made anything to last |
| Longer than the life of a match |
| One by one the old gang crumbled |
| Pressed out of the East Bay |
| Exiled to LA |
| Where we waited on a drummer |
| To show up at the strip club |
| In the strip mall after his other gig |
| Some kid with a million hits |
| Whose name I forget |
| (Well don’t you ever wish) |
| Our generation |
| Made anything worth saving |
| Made anything to last |
| Longer than the life of a match |
| I guess I just don’t get |
| What makes Kanye the best |
| (But don’t you ever wish) |
| That the backing tracks would crash |
| And the crowd would look up from their phones |
| To find out if the singer could sing a note |
| Or better yet if what he said gave a voice to feelings |
| I didn’t know myself how to express |
| I get it now I guess |
| We’re all frustrated and we just wish |
| Our generation |
| Had anything worth saying |
| Made anything to last |
| Longer than the life of a match |
| Yeah don’t you ever wish |
| Our generation |
| Made anything worth saving |
| Made anything to last |
| Longer than the life of a match |
| Yeah |
