lyrics

I went down to the other town, it was quite a site to see
Ten young turks in a circle jerk, or a back-scratching orgy
What a treat for me, to remember why I had to leave:
Because all that self-importance makes the tricks fall out your sleeve

Every guy's gotta compromise, every girl must draw her lines
Synthesize all the warring sides, and try to keep shit anodyne
So I'm killing time, but time is killing me
And it hurts to step up only to be accused of villainy

Cause it ain't no way of living, to be busted all the time
So if they dub me unforgiven, deep down I feel just fine
It's their loss, not mine
That kind of sweetness has an aftertaste of turpentine

Cause the naked and the craven always give it all they can
And their styles are sweetly brazen, but they fail to understand:
The song defines the man

And their fashion sense is molten
And their aphorisms golden
But somebody should have told them:
You gotta make us give a damn.
