about

Well, P-Fug gave us the most potentially incendiary songwriting assignment we've had in months, so my bad-boy "I won't do what you tell me" response was to write a perfectly ... nice, polite power-pop-with-or-without-the-power tune. And then made a half-hearted attempt to get inside this guy's head. But who am I kidding? It's Christmas Eve, and I frankly didn't want to ruin Christmas for my whole family by doing a deep-dive mind-meld into this psychotic guy's mental makeup. Anyway, I like this just fine, even with my crummy drumming. Needs real lyrics, as usual.

lyrics

Must be noon
Cause I can hear the heretics’ tune
They’re singing it from July to June
Wears me out
I need a sign
And I swear
Seems like this whole world just don’t care
I don’t think we breathe the same air
I do my part
To hold the line

Lost my life in leases
Plan to say my pieces
Shout it out in all the caps
Heard it in the airwaves
Won’t go spin in my grave
Watching while the world collapsed

Looking back
Still can’t see just where the train jumped the track
Where the forecast went from blue sky to black
The devil seeds
Start to grow
Cover’s blown
my commandments still all etched on this stone
now I’m standing on this island alone
Won’t back down
So you know

Lost my life in leases
Plan to say my pieces
Shout it out in all the caps
Heard it in the airwaves
Won’t go spin in my grave
Watching while the world collapsed

maybe I’m just out of touch
Or maybe this old world’s too much
can’t put out this fire
Guess I’ve got to walk this wire

Lost my life in leases
Plan to say my pieces
Shout it out in all the caps
Heard it in the airwaves
Won’t go spin in my grave
Watching while the world collapsed
