Boxcar
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.
You're not punk
and I'm telling everyone
Save your breath
I never was one
You don't know
what I'm all about
like killing cops
and reading Kerouac
My enemies are
all too familiar
they're the ones
who used to call me friend
I'm coloring outside
your guidelines
I was passing out
while you were passing out your rules
1 2 3 4
who's punk what's the score?
I've got a friend
her name is Boxcar
Cigarettes and beer
in El Sob
Her hair was blue
but now its green
I like her mind
she hates the scene
You're all alone
