lyrics

You say I’m quiet for a comrade-in-arms while we’re out smashing mailboxes Tuesday night. Could there be something to my hesitation? You need a target, not a comrade. Hitting the neighborhood in the Camry, a baseball bat and a 40oz, the casual approach to instigation. Accustomed. I’m accustomed, well accustomed to this type. All juiced up and no one to blame, the misdirected Harper Valley King. Who says juvie is all that bad? I feel your pain, reputation is hurting. This city’s chock-full of aggro-lads in circle pits, pissed and fighting mad. Aim at something, anything, that parallels self-improvement. A crack in foundation. You say I’m quiet for a comrade-in-arms when I can’t recommend something else to screw. Could there be something to my hesitation? You need a target, not a comrade. Hitting the neighborhood in the Camry, we get messed up, nothing else to do. Juvenile detention ain’t all that bad.
