lyrics

I need answers
Will someone please tell me why the trend is just to bitch and whine
I get it you’re upset but in half the time
I could think of better metaphors than high school poetry lines

Your parents must be proud that you can read and write
But I won’t pretend I’m down to sacrifice quality for mimicry
You’re carbon copies of everything I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna scene that’s run by dollar signs

Down on your knees in admiration
You swallow every line and throw it up in imitation
Operation counterfeit
Convince the kids that you came up with unhappiness
But you’re a joke and everybody knows

I need substance
But you’re in short supply
So at the very least yeah a shot or a line
I need to guard my head from the noise crime
Someone tell me why this has been done but you just got signed

Your parents must be proud and they’re the only ones
But I won’t pretend I’m down to sacrifice quality for mimicry
You’re carbon copies of everything I don’t wanna be
In fifteen minutes you’ll be a stain on history
And while I wait hit me with another whiskey

Down on your knees in admiration
You swallow every line and throw it up in imitation
Operation counterfeit
Convince the kids that you came up with unhappiness
But you’re a joke
You’re a fucking joke

I know that you know that I know
You’re a joke and everybody knows
I know that you know that I know
You’re a joke and everybody knows

Down in the shallows where I’m wading
I may be hard to find but I’m in honest company
Operation counterfeit
Convince the kids that you came up with unhappiness
But you’re a joke and everybody knows

Down on your knees in admiration
You swallow every line and throw it up in imitation
Operation counterfeit
Convince the kids that you came up with unhappiness
But you’re a joke and everybody knows

I know that you know that I know
You’re a joke and everybody knows
