Holy Shit! - Against Me!

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

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 lyrics 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

Oh good God, holy shit, the joke’s on us, not on them

Kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen
