Against Me Against Me! - 10 - Holy Shit! Lyrics

I am oh so fascinated,
I am oh so entertained,
standing here like a comedian,
I repeat what I said, again and again and again
until the meaning has become an imitation of itself,
an impression of an original defeats the f___ing purpose.
I don't know where this is going,
but it's looking more and more like the same place where we started.

Oh good God, holy s___, the joke's on us, not on them.
Kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.

And everybody's watching the lead singer in the bands.
The guitars explode into a drumbeat that's driving.
It's pretty f___ing boring, ah don't you think?
And of all the things we'd ask,
of all the ways we'd like for it to be,
they're just drunken conversations,
I believe in a power that is of and by the people.
I believe in an art that cannot be compromised.
I believe that I will endure, and I will overcome.
And I will sing it until I no longer remember the reason.

Oh good God, holy s___, the joke's on us, not on them.
Kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.
