Los Campesinos
I bet you twenty pounds if you knew ten years ago
how pretty you'd turn out then you'd never have
gotten your ears pierced,
but I never got my ears pierced
and look how I turned out
and the last time that you tried listening to music,
and reading fiction at the same time,
you never finished the chapter,
but you finished the song
with your chin on your knees like you belong
and i never cared about Henry Rollins
Amelia Fletcher never meant anything to me
but the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all!
Getting the laptop fixed by a professional
doesn't make me a pawn and
stamping harder on your FX pedal,
won't make you feel any better any more
oh you said "we've gotta bite the hand that feeds"
but i was sucking seductively
on the fingertips of a civil servant,
said "how you gonna bring the state down
when you're propping it up, with daytime radio
and skimmed milk and soppy bows
just 'cause you're scared to be alone?"
and i never cared about Ian MacKaye
Calvin Johnson never meant anything to me
but the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all!
Ooh, this city is run by fucking pigs,
and though you say you're my friend,
you're not, you're one of THEM.
and i never cared about...whatever
Sarah Records never meant anything to me
but the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all!
