Max Levine Ensemble Ben Weasel Thinks We Suck
I hope you fall on some bad luck
if the path you take leads up and up
yet you take such pride in mediocrity
the nail that sticks up gets hammered down
take the squeaky wheel and throw it out
you've got a square peg a round hole?
take that square peg and shove that sucker down!
and from your armchair, you discover
what it's like to lord over each other,
to strip this life from all meaning:
just a series of images repeat...
1000 eyes glued to a TV.
1000 pundits know more about me than me!
Hey! I concede ... you got it.
I'd put up a fight, but I'm tuckered out
I've played the squeaky wheel for awhile now
through all this struggle, I said I'd stand behind it
but these days I'm feeling too tired to give a shit.
So to fall back -- is this freedom?
I always thought I'd go kicking and screaming...
but now the time's come -- maybe I should!
I'm getting out while this is still good!
to all my friends: please don't forget me
though I know I never made it on TV...
We gave it a shot, but now we're free!
I always thought my calling was crunching numbers
you work for a sports team! I'll start a radio show!
We'll show this world how far we can go
because everbody knows there's nothing more to life
than shit jobs rock and roll. Wait!
Did I forget sports? There's also... sports
