Holy Shit Songtext

von Against Me!

I am oh-so fascinated,
I am oh-so entertained.
Standing here like a comedian
I repeat what I say
Again and again and again,
Until the meaning has become an imitation of itself. An impression of an original defeats the purpose.
I don't know where this is going
But it's looking more and more
Like the same place that we started.

Oh good god! Holy shit!!
The joke's on us, not on them.
Just kids pretending to be astronauts,
Police officers, and firemen.

Everybody's watching the lead singer in the band. The guitars exploding to a drum beat that's driving. It's pretty fucking boring, don't you think?
Of all the things we'd ask.
All the ways we'd like for it to be.
They're just drunken conversations.
Song lyrics sung at
The top of our lungs so desperately.
Like I believe in a power
That is of and by the people.
I believe in an art that cannot be compromised.
I believe that all will endure
And all will overcome.
And I will sing it
Till I no longer remember the reason.
What was the reason?

Oh good god! Holy shit!!
The joke's on us, not on them.
Just kids pretending to be astronauts,
Police officers, and firemen.

Oh good god! Holy shit!!
The joke's on us, not on them.
Just kids pretending to be astronauts,
Police officers, and firemen.
