well its hard to believe in much
when youre in tampa bay
and the coastline is drowning beneath all the sunshine
and condos and cocaine
and everyone around is just waiting round here to be dead
from your rich grandma
on down through the crackheads
well i guess thats florida
the wrong kind of wasteland for me
and st petersburg is a city of ghosts and bad dreams
but i dont go to college or california
no i dont go to college or california
well im not a nihilist
i just cant pledge allegiance to shit
and that goes just the same for your gods and your empires
and your scene politics
and im not saying im not an asshole
just that youre one too
but theres 6 billion of us
so im not saying nothing new
straight edge never got me through
one single night this cold
but you know how that goes
or maybe you just really dont
but i dont go to college or california no i dont go to college or california
