lyrics

No one understands their plans, the
Same story every time and again for them, because after
All just the winners advance, because they have much
Love surround themselves with fans, ask
Jane because she knows from experience, she can’t
Find where the good life is, like all the girls she
Sees in the magazines with perfect clothes and whiter smiles
but you see that Jane lives in denial because
She’s got the love but she got no shot
She’s got a roots rock rhythm but got no job
Plagued by self doubt but being in is her out so she stands
For things that she knows nothing about

Chorus:
You see them trying to be so kiff, no matter how they try
End up being misfits, swing so hard but
Finish with a near miss, closed fist clenched
Tight around a broken soul hear them crying

Luke knew that he was damaged goods
He never lived the life that he felt he should, so he
Sold his morals for shoes, traded friends for new clothes
Running away from himself, trying to break his own mold
He walks taller now, in front of the crowd he’s loud
Spewing lies out of his mouth like he’s proud
That he’s found so much love in people circled around
Waiting to pick at his ego when he falls down,
But they don’t see him when the lights stop, when the rim shots end
Funny isn’t it how even though he pretends that he’s
So hot, get too close and you’ll burn
He clutches a mirror, hoping for what was, to return

Chorus

Because the lyrics are meaningless if you lost all the feeling and it’s
So easy to make a line that rhymes but in time you’ll
See that it’s not free, stop thinking it’s easy,
If it was supposed to be, think this would bother me? Because you
Know that you stole the track, but refuse to give it back so you
Snatch like a crack addict, thrash and attack them automatic
Those armed with facts as they become problematic to your
Search for the fat cats that you want to attract
But sing bout the lust and the fame and the bright lights,
Sing for the morons who paid for your show
Do us all a favor, don't stick to your heart
Don't sing about the pain that you actually know

Chorus
