Old Crap - Jeff Rosenstock

Go back to the old crap

To the things you tell yourself you’ve gotten through

But it’s just been a week of

Desperately trying not to sweat off the glue

'Cause the body wants to do things

That the body wants to do

It’s a shell coated in candy

For the ground that waits for you

Rip your friends off, write a new song

Call it «Shame» and claim its indelible truths

Play the victim, be a shit-head

Throw the blame at anyone coming for you

'Cause the brain’s gonna do things

That the brain’s gonna do

I’m the worst kind of person

And I’m still in love with you

How’s it animosity can just cut right through the fog

Of a pixelated memory that you figured was long gone

And it shapeshifts into guilt that corners you into rights and wrongs

'Cause you told yourself you’re the kind of person who knows how to move on

And the only way to trick yourself into not feeling insane

Are the negative impulses that you struggle to restrain?

You know that nothing’s real but you sink your hooks into mistakes anyway

And you’re paralyzed by the «How's» and «Why's» because people never change

You can call it «Angst» but I ain’t seen proof

That the world ain’t fucked

And we ain’t just doomed to the truth

So sing along

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

'Cause I’m still gonna do all of the things I want to do

But the truth at the moment is

I’m tired of the truth

Yeah, I’m tired of the truth

Yeah, I’m tired and I’m through
