Syke! Life Is AWESOME!

I sat along the rocks and I watched the cold Maine water rush away

The sun and my guitar and I knew what you were doing yesterday

You broke those promises but I'll get over it

'Cause as long as I'm breathing fresh air I really don't give a shit

But I'll get mad for the next ten years, but realize sometimes things are great

I didn't have directions, I hadn't eaten anything all day

We sucked a fat one and wasted a hundred dollars just to play

I ate a bag of peanuts before the windy road

I couldn't drink a thing all night because of the vomit in my throat

Then you gave me your sweatshirt and your number, sometimes things are great

You don't own me! You don't own me!

I worked my ass off my entire life to accomplish my dream

It started happening and everything got bastardized by greed

I said: Pull this shit over and let me out

I swear to fucking God I'm fucking giving up right now

And now I've got a brand new start, I realize sometimes things are great

Scream it in apartment halls

Shout this shit in shopping malls

Take a ball point pen and paint the inside of your eyelids with the constant reminder

You don't own me. You don't own me

Then I was underground without food, sunlight or encouragement

Depression set in I was a product of my environment

And then the other day, you said: Jeff, get in your car

Yeah, pick Glenn Tillbrook up at the hotel and take him to the bar

And he wore a t-shirt just like me and he wasn't on his phone

For fifteen fucking minutes I had a conversation with my hero

I'll be mad for the next ten years

And after that I’ll drink ten beers until the bar runs out of beers

And prepare for the next twenty-three years

And if I wasn't a fat kid in high school, I would have never listened to punk rock

And if I knew how to throw a football, I would have never played any music

And if never got my heart broken, I would sing: Blah blah fucking nothing

And if you didn't fuck my ex-girlfriend, I would still owe you three thousand dollars

And if I never lived in that van there I wouldn't have met Chris or Steve, Alex, James, or Middagh

And if I never worked in a basement I would have never quit my job

And if I had a big emo band or dropped out of college, I would have never met you, man
