lyrics
i don’t wanna be a piece of shit
some mediocre hobbyist
permanently out of it
permanently out of it
i’ll go to class i’ll play a show
once or twice a month or so
so how the fuck am i spending the rest of my time?
i don’t know
amsterdam’s an awful place to spend your smoke-a-lonely days
to be deep in your emo phase, short and pseudo-smart
it’s where i let it get to me, the silly insecurities
it is where ‘my cool’ is torn apart
i don’t wanna be a piece of shit
some mediocre hobbyist
permanently out of it
permanently out of it
the things i do are never cool
the things i like never rule
life is hella hard and super cruel
i know a friend that had a friend that joined a southern hardcore band
and put everything in it. playing massive shows and shit
and he caught a beer with one hand. and, they got even bigger then.
and everything was cool and then they quit.
but, i am still a piece of shit
some mediocre hobbyist
permanently out of it
permanently out of it
the things i do are never cool
the things i like never rule
life is hella hard and super cruel
i doubt you’ll ever hear my shit on the radio
that’s a hook right there, let’s do another one of those
but, that shit never works
‘cause they are crooks and jerks
i don’t wanna be a piece of shit
some mediocre hobbyist
permanently out of it
(and probably won’t get into it,
‘cause it’s so hard to get into it,
and i learned to never give a shit,
and i think i’m at a point where i can say ‘fuck it’)
i don’t wanna be a piece of shit
some mediocre hobbyist
permanently out of it
permanently out of it
the things i do are never cool
the things i like never rule
life is hella hard and super cruel
