lyrics

Forget those lazy neckin' teens
with all their shiny flavored lips.
Old men are rubberneckin
their wives in a fit
cuz they don't pay attention to them.
Don't blame me if they catch you
I have already warned you
You're fighting a battle you can't win
and you're only going to lose from here.

Save your breath I couldn't ask for a better time
those garage rock boys are going to lose their minds.
What'll they do when they turn twenty two?
And their dads money runs out too?

So run your mouth
say a prayer for the people you dream about
and head for the road
like a front man you've got somewhere else to go
But they just scream
"you bottom feeding fuckers!"
you stole my dreams
put them on TV, now everybody's watching me.

Oh my god they're throwing shit straight at the wall
and it sticks, and now everybody's swallowing it.
I hardly ever break a sweat when I write rhymes
its a crime.

So run your mouth
say a prayer for the people you dream about
and head for the road
like a front man you've got somewhere else to go
but they just scream
"you bottom feeding fuckers!"
you stole my dreams
put them on TV, now everybody's watching me.

Oh no, I lost my self control
It fell down somewhere in the back of my throat.
Oh no, I think I have to go make somebody happy.
Hot damn, I couldn't understand
the words you whispered in my ears last Saturday.
Rock'n'roll guitars are playing way too loud
and I'm going nowhere now.

Don't blame me if they catch
I have already warned you.
You're fighting a battle you can't win.
And you're only going to lose from here.
