about

I HAD TROUBLE WRITING ABOUT MY EMOTIONS, BUT THEN I LISTENED TO THE DESCENDENTS AND THEY MADE IT SEEM ALRIGHT! THIS SONG IS ABOUT HAVING A COMPLETE LACK OF DIRECTION IN LIFE, AND NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK TO DO, BUT REALISING THAT YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST ENJOY THE SHIT THAT YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT!

lyrics

I don't know where I'm going with my life,
All my friends have plans and they sleep at night.
And it's blindingly obvious that I'm cliche,
But I don't give a fuck because it won't go away!

No conclusion in my head,
No conviction in my steps,
I fell far short of what I dreamed I'd be,
I'm a patchwork of mediocrity.

If I put a bullet into my skull,
Would people recall potential?
Imagine what I could have been, Instead of what I'm not.
Once I'm dead and gone, I can't fuck up no more!

I don't know where I'm going with my life,
All my friends have plans and they sleep at night.
And it's blindingly obvious that I'm cliche,
But I don't give a fuck because it won't go away!

I won't admit that it's just a phase,
Doesn't matter if it is, now my eyes are glazed!
If I had the balls then I'd pull the trigger,
I'm as much a loser as I am a coward!

I don't know where I'm going with my life,
If I can't shed a tear and I can't raise a smile,
I'm numb and neutral, become sedate.
A living effigy to the man I hate!

So, punk give me anger,
And ska lift my soul,
Anti-fascist direction,
And Lou give me hope!
Skate give me good times,
And Jah make me grin!
Life's not a game,
So you can't fucking win.
