lyrics

When the candle burns down draw a card from the stack.
Nothing rings as true as black on black.
Pump up the jams. Tear it down. Play it faster.
I can taste the blood of your former master.

When I look in your eyes, I can see you’re a pup.
I can’t find reason for ever growing up.
Strike up the band. Slap a key. Bang a drum.
Turn the record around. Watch me rattle hum.

When you get no respect you don’t have to give a shit.
What good is canned food when you can’t open it?
When you get no respect you don’t have to give a shit.
What good is canned food when you don’t know how to open it.

Drew the curtain back, but there was nobody there.
What shocked me the most is that I don’t even care.
Throw it all up. Take my hand. Shine a light.
Let me teach you something about wrong and right.

Take a moment to breathe. Then give it back.
If you value your father don’t step on that crack.
Hail to the chief. Turn around. Kill a clown.
I’ll see you yesterday at the lost and found.

When you get no respect you don’t have to give a shit.
What good is canned food when you can’t open it?
When you get no respect you don’t have to give a shit.
What good is canned food when you don’t know how to open it.

Blank pages are clean, but filled ones have more to say.
All your sand castles are gonna fall to the sea one day.

When you get no respect you don’t have to give a shit.
What good is canned food when you can’t open it?
When you get no respect you don’t have to give a shit.
What good is canned food when you don’t know how to open it.
