Lyrics
First Ditch Effort
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.
Living for nothing does not require reason
Ban no ambition, call it national treason
I've been outside the cave and told them 'bout the light
They told me they don't wanna know about it, fuck you and goodnight
We've got a sickness, it's not a moral judgement
It comes from thickness and 30 year begrudgment
You end up sighing, it's only STD
We've all got sickness, but I'm the one with Hepatitis C
I don't need doctors, I don't need treatment
Need to be treated like a man who's halfway decent
I told them that I think bad thoughts and I just might
They told me they don't wanna hear about it, fuck you and goodnight
Fuck you and goodnight
Fuck you and goodnight
