Cynical Song Songtext

von Tastes Like Chicken

I WAKE UP, GET UP, AND MAKE MY WAY TROUGH THE COLD STREETS OF THIS CITY I HATE
EVERY PAIR OF EYES IN THE SUBWAY STALLS IS A PAINFUL REMINDER?
OF THE THINGS I STOOD FOR WAY BACK THEN, OF THE IDEALS I'VE RENOUNCED A MILLION TIMES BEFORE
MY COMBAT JUST RAN OUT OF GAS, IF YOU CAN'T BEAT'EM BETTER JOIN'EM

IT'S OUR PRETTY FUCKED UP SOCIETY/ IT'S WHO DRAWS FIRST IT'S ME ME ME / IT'S A PRICE TAG STAMPED ON A PROTEST SONG, EVEN BOB DYLAN WANTS SOME MORE!!!

I'M ALSO TRAPPED IN THE DRAGNET SO DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON'T JUDGE YOU BUT I CAN'T PRETEND, THAT EVERYTHING'S O.K.
I'M ALSO PART OF THIS MADNESS SO DON'T GET ME WRONG, I CAN'T JUDGE YOU BUT I WON'T PRETEND, THAT EVERYTHING'S O.K. /
"YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF"

EVERY PERSON IS AN ENEMY- EVERYONE IS A POTENTIAL THREAT
EVERY SMILE, EVERY HANDSHAKE, EVERY HUG MAY BE PART OF ANOTHER PLOT SO BETTER
WATCH OUT, DRAW FIRST THEN WALK AWAY, BUT ALL YOUR LIFE BETTER WATCH BEHIND YOUR BACK
ANY ALLEY OF THE CITY COULD, BE WAITING TO TEACH YOU WHAT IS ALL ABOUT

IT'S OUR PRETTY FUCKED UP SOCIETY/ IT'S WHO DRAWS FIRST IT'S ME ME ME / IT'S A CONTRACT SIGNED FOR A PUNK-ROCK-SONG, EVEN GREG GRAFFIN WORKS FOR SONY!!!

I'M ALSO PART OF THIS MADNESS SO DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON'T JUDGE YOU BUT I CAN'T PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING'S O.K.
IT USED TO BE SO SHOCKING WHEN I WAS A TEENAGE PUNK
NOW I'M USED TO BUT I WON'T PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING'S O.K.
