lyrics

Music doesn't matter, it's just a trivial waste of our time
It's nice for a hobby, you said, that your generation contrived
Music will never stop anyone from dying, and it won't help feed the poor
Well if all that's true then I don't wanna play guitar anymore

I never would have made it past the seventh grade
Without shitty pop-punk CD's
I wouldn't still be here to take care of my friends
Who sleep on a park bench

So I guess what I'm trying to say is
That I'd take the music over anything else any day
And it must be wearing off
Because there's people here to hear a girl strum at a knockoff
And if I could write a song that could make one person be better off
Then I'd know my job is done... But it won't be the last one

My sober friends would never get clean without Ian MacKaye
And the things that they say in Out Of Step
I wouldn't have the guts to be who I am
Without my record collection

So I guess what I'm trying to say is
That I don't believe in purpose without ambition
Don't believe in divine intervention, it won't catch my attention
But I believe in this
And if I could write a song that could make one person be better off
Then I'd know my job is done... But it won't be the last one
