lyrics

This is the last song
That I'll ever sing like this
'Cos I am over it
None of these songs should exist

I'm wasting my breath
To revisit my old rhymes
Making progress
By just laughing 'til I'm fine

It's not so bad, it's not so bad
To stay quiet and silent
I've just had enough of fads
All fashion and fictionalised

Now it's my turn
To yell over the top of you
And let me tell you
I am right and wise and smooth

Paper-thin logic
Buried under show-and-tell
Pages and pages
Run over with cries and whelps

It's getting late now
And the theatres have all closed
A chill has spilled in
And the buskers have gone home

Hundred thousand
People walking into bars
Finding answers
At the bottom of their glass

After all that
Express yourself against a wall
If no one's listening
Do your thoughts exist at all

After a few years
I have come to realise
That I'm becoming
Someone I don't really like

'Cos my opinions
Don't mean to much to me
So I justify
My severe lack of empathy

So I'll shut up now
So no one know's I don't know jack
'Cos once you've said it
There's no way to take it back

Don't know jack
Don't know shit
But still I try to persist
To tell myself
To give it up or get a grip.
