Big Scar - Single Mothers

They went from That’s So Raven straight into Pavement

They started with the best-ofs and got some personal favorites

Hugged up to that Crass crew, then slid into The Replacements

The suburbs aren’t the same game, I remember when we cased them

Staring into that dark abyss

Seeing hope, but avoiding it

Maybe you heard me or maybe you didn’t

Either way, this is diminished

And either way, it’s gonna be finished

Now we’re getting OCD with them drama queens

They want to talk about you and me and me and me

Swollen out in the summary, yeah, it’s not all that funny

But there’s hope in the joke when all you do is dream

Leaning into that dark abyss

Seeing hope, but avoiding it

Maybe you heard me or maybe you didn’t

Either way, this is diminished

And either way, it’s gonna finish

Now we’re turning old wounds into pretty scars

While all the kids around here are kick flipping to Big Star

All the kids around here, they want to borrow my car

It ain’t easy being me, but it ain’t easy being young anymore

If you can back up the trailer, you can be in the band

It’s a skill set that every drummer should have

Only leaning slightly on your backup plan

With your Black Flag shirt under your day job drab

Hanging onto that dark abyss

Needing hope, but avoiding it

Needing hope, but destroying it
