Lyrics
The End Of The Asterisk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On considering religion
Or military conscription
Is the moment I realise I'm stuck
Asserting ourselves at traffic lights
In foreign countries in the very dead of night
Is the moment I realise I'm stuck
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
This is the end of the asterisk
Babe, that punk's got nothing on me
This is the end of the footnote
Extorting money from your parents
Your disgusting parents.
Honestly, you're an absolute waste of time
Craving attention with your self-deprecation
I'll tell you one thing:
It's spot on and I'm better
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
This is the end of the asterisk
Babe, that one's got nothing on me
This is the end of the footnote
Extorting money from your parents
Your disgusting parents.
Honestly, you're an absolute tragedy
Not like 'heroically' in all of the books you read.
I read your novella, oh how I laughed
Killed off the lot of them
