Radicals - Matthew Good

It’s not that I never did tell you

It’s more that you should have just known

Once you break it you bought it

And once you’ve bought it it’s breakable

Ya once you’ve bought it it’s breakable

In town at the bar there’s a calendar

From 1933

It’s been hanging there for decades

Since sobriety lost to reality

Since sobriety lost to reality

At night’s I’d sit in the corner

Think up stories and all of them crimes

Of pretty girls kidnapped by radicals

Who fell in love with them after a time

It’s not that I never did tell you

It’s more that you should have just known

Once you break it you bought it

And once you’ve bought it it’s breakable

Ya once you’ve bought it it’s breakable

On the edge of town where the streetlights ground

And the highway melts into the dark

Built me a shack with a porch out the back

Where I sit and shoot bottles like question marks

Sometimes you wonder at yourself

And how it is you’re still alive

You’ve done all them things you never thought

Like kissing ass and calling it compromise

In town at the bar there’s an exit

That leads back to something before

Pretty girls kidnapped by radicals

That took from them all that they stood for

It’s not that I never did tell you

It’s just that you should have just known

Once you break it you bought it

And once you’ve bought it it’s breakable

Ya once you’ve bought it it’s breakable

Ah once you’ve bought it it’s breakable

Oh, once you’ve bought it it’s breakable
