lyrics

You blacked out but who could blame you
shaking like a cramped leg trying to cram it all
Into to one thin day
snot nose zit face
Lose clothes head case
Waitin' waitin' waitin' for the summertime Saturday
Walking out on his own, heaven knows where he's going
Now he's got nothing rolling under his soles
But upstairs lights on bangin' pots and pans together
Keepin' white gas flowing onto the coals
Heart and mind hand in hand roll on little man
Worlds ahead are waiting to divide you up
But never mind heartache stiff truth and heartbreak
And things you gotta talk about will shut you up
Heading into the classroom shivering and breaking it out
Making nothing turn a laugh out from your friends
Smoking and heaving and hitting lotsa walls hard
Making fun of everything you're gonna to hit some dead ends
Your mouth is getting bigger your hearts getting smaller
That cocky shit you're swaggering could shrivel up and die
But don't let it bother you bang your head hail hail get it on!
Forget about the future!
Heart and mind hand in hand roll on little man
Worlds ahead are waiting to divide you up
But never mind heartache stiff truth and heartbreak
And things you gotta talk about will shut you up
Upstairs lights on bangin' pots and pans together
Keepin' white gas flowing onto the coals
Keepin' white gas flowing onto the coals
Yeahoooo!
