lyrics

You ask me why I say that I'm straight edge
Instead of just saying that I'm clean
Well I guess that's cause if I did, then I'd have to conform to showering
You ask me why I love black flags
Well I'll tell you they give me hope, well it's true
But I hate flags, and I hate symbols, and I hate everything they mean
So I guess I'm a hypocrite just like you

So if not showering is a revolution you can call me Che Guevara or just human pollution, I swear I won't put it past you
And if shitty songs about anarchy mean anything please call me the Karl Marx of bad poetry cause seems that every word I've ever written I wish I could undo

You ask me why I collect change
Well I'll tell you it's easier than getting a job
But if change don't happen where it really matters
Then I guess there is no hope, and we're all born to die lazy, homeless, ignorant slobs
You ask me why I love traintracks
Well I'll tell you they give me proof
And if there's somewhere else, then I might just be one of the lucky ones to get out
So I guess I'm just another helpless kid looking for truth

So if not showering is a revolution you can call me Che Guevara or just human pollution, I swear I won't put it past you
And if shitty songs about anarchy mean anything please call me the Karl Marx of bad poetry cause seems that every word I've ever written I wish I could undo
