lyrics

we’re honestly going nowhere
sincerity’s not gonna pay my way
you know there’s no point in trying
but don’t screw up
good fucking luck

doncha try to tell me try to tell me
don’t you tell me
I don’t want to hear it
I’m so tired I’m so tired I’m so tired
so tired of feeling guilty
misery tyranny celebrity infamy
keep your saddening bullshit
an epistle on fire meant to make a man cry
well I don’t want to hear it

so this is life it’s some big show
and there’s more to it than regret you know
but not much more
not much more
and if you’re not buying in
what the fuck are you singing for?

we’re honestly going nowhere
sincerity’s not gonna pay my way
you know there’s no point in trying
but don’t screw up
good fucking luck

dejame ir
porque sufrir?

I never wanna die and I never wanna pay
but some debt is genetic
so we all fall oh we all fall down
stick our babies with the back rent

so this is life it’s some big show
and there’s more to it than what you owe
but not much more
not much more
and if you won’t make love
what the fuck are you here for?

we’re honestly going nowhere
sincerity’s not gonna pay my way
you know there’s no point in trying
but don’t screw up
good fucking luck

dejame ir
porque sufrir?

lemme lemme go
let me out of here

we’re going nowhere
