dance and laugh and play.
ignore the message we convey.
it seems we're only here to entertain.
a rebellion cut-to-fit.

i refuse to be the soundtrack to it.
while we entertain we're still knee-deep in shit.

there's something wrong inside.
we've played it safe, enjoyed the ride.
you won't like this but i've something to confide.
we stand for something more than a faded sticker on a skateboard.
now we've rained on your parade and we're out the door.
and i don't even care any fucking more.

witness this pair in accomplice.
witness this pair; lethargic, unconscious.
no brows furrowed in question, complacent,
completing their tasks no questions asked
consider this critic a cretin,
just resting on laurels completely invented.
word acrobatics performed with both harness and net.
i am so full of shit.

but i will remain until this self-awareness fades
until i defeat the purpose of this soapbox that you made.
that you made.

hope, perseverance, a vision some doubt.
green ink, a 26 oz., a bad case of big-mouth.
a sum of our parts and i've never laughed harder.
a song in our hearts and i've never laughed harder.
it don't really matter cuz nothing's ever felt as right as this.

by the way, i stole this riff
dance and laugh and play.
ignore the message we convey.
it seems we're only here to entertain.
a rebellion cut-to-fit.
i refuse to be the soundtrack to it.
while we entertain we're still knee-deep in shit.
(in shit)
