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 fucking 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 shit the joke s on us not on them kids pretending to be astronauts police officers and firemen oh good god holy shit 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 fucking 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 song sung at the top of our lungs so desperately 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 what was that reason oh good god holy shit the joke s on us not on them kids pretending to be astronauts police officers and firemen oh good god holy shit the joke s on us not on them kids pretending to be astronauts police officers and firemen2
