Well I’m thinking that I’d rather feel alive than dead
But it turns out that I’m only feeling drunk instead
As I listen to another stolen punk cd
I notice myself wishing that the singer was me
Cuz I struggle to produce a single fuck at times
About all the petty circumstances of my life
But when I lose my voice from belting out these songs we wrote
I forget about the bull shit and it gives me hope Oh yeah!
WHOA NEVER LET IT GO-OH OH
WHOA NEVER LET IT GO OH OH
Well people come in go in life but the good ones stay
To help you stomp depression on a rainy day
Cuz pain is pain and shame is shame, it brings me down
But I always find salvation in a punk show crowd
Cuz the days go by and I can’t help but thinking of
The fact that I’m the patron saint of fuckin up
But I’ll live and learn and crash and burn and carry on
And hope that you’ll still be here by the end of this song Oh yeah!
WHOA NEVER LET IT GO-OH OH
WHOA NEVER LET IT GO OH OH
WHOA NEVER LET IT GO-OH OH
WHOA NEVER LET IT GO OH OH

Invincible - can't say I ever really felt that way
Unstoppable - fuck, I'm lucky if I make it through the day
My metronome is fucken broken
Don't give a shit if I'm on time
I'll hurl this guitar in this ocean
Before I ever walk their line
Irreparable damage to my brain and guts
I thought I'd never make it right
Unlovable is what I thought I was
Until I looked around tonight
My metronome is fucken broken
Don't give a shit if I'm on time
I'll hurl this guitar in this ocean
Before I ever walk their line

So now I wanna punch the earth like some demented savage
No, it doesn't make me proud to act like such a fucken clown
You seem to feed my inner asshole, watch him grow up nice and strong
Well I tried to be a nice guy, someone you could get along with
But I guess I have a limit, didn't know I even had it
But I'm sick of doing backflips into endless pools of bullshit
Don't bother trying to call me, smash my phone against the wall
I know I'm drunk and useless but I don't deserve to fall at all
It took almost forever but it's pretty plain to see
There's nothing here left for me
Well we don't have tons of hours on this dirty, little planet
But a million songs and stories tell us to make the most of it
But I look around and all I see is everyone just settling
It's not like I believe in fate or some kind of a destiny
But I worked my fucken ass off, ended up back at square 1
Try to be the perfect human, forced myself to be the one
But it's all so fucken pointless, I'm still selfish in the end
so I'll drink some beers, smash some power chords
And see what happens next
It took almost forever but it's pretty plain to see
There's nothing here left for me

And now it seems like ages ago
When we were sneaking beers in through my basement window
And I'd raid my mother's coin jar just to buy some Captain Blacks
I sold some DVDs I knew I'd never get them back
I'd pound a couple Colt 45s
I'd hop upon my bike and try to make it home alive
And then it dawns on me as I approach my crescent
This bike does not belong to me so I ditch it by a fence
Well I've heard what's been said but it ain't no gap to me
These fucked up times
And unsolved crimes
Made me all that I can be
But I don't give a shit if I ever go back
The sun brings in another new day
There's a 99% chance that I won't be getting paid
It's a damn good thing I got my guitar and some stolen beer
Don't care if they're Labatt's Light, they're still filling me with cheer
So let's hear it for our homey in the red toque (hear, hear!)
He's always there to take the hit when we pull off a goof
And it doesn't really matter what the bulls have got in mind
Cuz we'll be one step beyond and we'll never walk their line
Well I've heard what's been said but it ain't no gap to me
These fucked up times
And unsolved crimes
Made me all that I can be
But I don't give a shit if I ever go back
