lyrics
This is all you could have hoped for
This is all you ever will get
This is alright
But I'm just waiting for more oh so much more
Wake up in the morning
Put on the same old deathly dark blue suit
You never get it dry cleaned do you?
Got better things to do.
Used to be a sign of elegance
Used to separate the boys out from the men
And it does, it's just the other way round and that's a problem for you because...
Trying to turn this into something that of which your conscience will approve
You don't stand much more to win or lose and every day you put on the same old pair of smelly brown shoes
Looking round for somebody to set you free
Well I'm sorry but that really just isn't me
I've got my own responsibilities but you persist and you persist and I resist and say desist please!
This is the best that you've ever known
Well if I justify it and I take my own stance does it make me a better man?
(Not at all)
Well if I generate some of my own sounds well you don't even stand a chance with me.
This is all you ever will get
This is alright
But I'm just waiting for more oh so much more
Wake up in the morning
Put on the same old deathly dark blue suit
You never get it dry cleaned do you?
Got better things to do.
Used to be a sign of elegance
Used to separate the boys out from the men
And it does, it's just the other way round and that's a problem for you because...
Trying to turn this into something that of which your conscience will approve
You don't stand much more to win or lose and every day you put on the same old pair of smelly brown shoes
Looking round for somebody to set you free
Well I'm sorry but that really just isn't me
I've got my own responsibilities but you persist and you persist and I resist and say desist please!
This is the best that you've ever known
Well if I justify it and I take my own stance does it make me a better man?
(Not at all)
Well if I generate some of my own sounds well you don't even stand a chance with me.

What a damn solid record! It's the perfect example of why I'm certain that Ska Punk is going to play on the highlight reel when I hit up the afterlife.
