Against Me - Sadness

They're advertising on the TV Become a soldier It's still high school politics, you know Nothing's changed, jocks and assholes still don't know shit about aesthetic I think I smell a rat We sold our revenge, now we're working for them Where's the divide? You know Justin, well Justin's dead And Yahoo won't let his family have access to his e-mail account The news reporter said, I feel so bad for you, it's so awkward There's really nothing I can say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays From network and its affiliates So where's the divide? Where's the divide?

Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision It could be me up there in stage lights It could be me on the TV in you living room It could be me jet setting with my band all across the world Appearing live in concert one night only, tickets sold out Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision There I am giving candid disclosure to press in interview There I go on my way through the crowd up to the podium On behalf of our fans we'd like to accept this award Smile for the camera boys, gold record in hand Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision All of our lives in waiting All of our lives traded for their roses and applause All of our lives dedicated to shoving it right back in their fucking face Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision I said you've got to make a serious decision Stop! Take some time to think

If I could have chosen where God would hide his heaven I'd wish for it to be in the salt and swell of the ocean Carried by the currents to all continents' shores Reaching into depths where the sun's light has never shone Mixed with algae and coral, breathed in by sharks and dolphins Sailed by tanker ships, private yachts, swam in by tourists Working its way up through inlets, lakes, and rivers Swamps and estuaries, down through limestone into the aquifer Purified by the county, pumped through pipes and out faucets Filled into a glass to meet the thirst of our children And if I could have chosen, I would have been born a woman My mother once told me she would have named me Laura I'd grow up to be strong and beautiful like her One day I'd find an honest man to make my husband We would have two children, build our home on the Gulf of Mexico Our family would spend hot summer days at the beach together The sun would kiss our skin as we played in the sand and water And we would know we loved each other without having to say it At night we would sleep with the windows of our house left open Letting the cool ocean air soothe the sunburned shoulders of our children There is an ocean in my soul Where the waters do not curve There is an ocean in my soul Where the waters do not curve There is an ocean (there is an ocean) In my soul (in my soul) Where the waters do not curve There is an ocean (there is an ocean) In my soul (in my soul) Where the waters do not curve

I don't ever wanna talk that way again I don't wanna know people like that anymore As if there was an obligation As if I owed you something Black me out I wanna piss on the walls of your house I wanna chop those brass rings off your fat fucking fingers As if you were a king-maker As if, as if, as if, black me out I don't wanna see the world that way anymore I don't wanna feel that weak and insecure As if you were my fucking pimp As if I was your fucking whore Black me out I wanna piss on the walls of your house I wanna chop those brass rings off your fat fucking fingers As if you were a king-maker As if, as if, as if, black me out I wanna piss on the walls of your house I wanna chop those brass rings off your fat fucking fingers As if you were a king-maker As if, as if, as if, black me out All the young graves filled Don't the best all burn out so bright and so fast? All the young graves filled Don't the best all burn out so bright and so fast? Full body high I'm never coming down Black me out

Do you see the world in different colors? Do you see the world in black and gray? Alone in your thoughts How many others Have stood where you stand Where you stand today? Have stood where you stand But how can you Wait for me now? To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The airs running out Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me now The promise of safe return I delivered But the oceans is wider than I first guessed When roads disappeared, I followed the rivers But somehow got in over my head So a deep breath I'm taking Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The airs running out Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me now A lost dream of what could have been A house on fire, a tangled web The key turns To find the locks have changed In time to hear the back door slam A sound that to this day I can't forget The colors drain to black and gray Oh Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The airs running out Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me now
