“Yeah, I Don’t Know What It’s Like to Be Around a Bunch of Hipsters”
[Intro]
Hey again, I hope you know you ruined my life
The bitterest words are never quite sincere
But I gotta tell you one thing, it's all the same to me
It's in my blood and you don't feel the flow
(Woo woo)
[Verse 1]
I sat there, absorbing the ever-present real world
Wondering why people have to change all the time
And about those who shift with the trends
Well, we both know I know better
Than to point the blame at somebody else but myself
So I'll put these words on the shelf, with pictures of old friends
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can sit and ask myself what I'm doing wrong
But I'm right this time
[Chorus]
And these are my convictions you're tearing down
I won't give up
Even though it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now
She's not with us anymore
[Verse 2]
I sat there feeling frustrated
The autumn sky was rapidly turning to dusk
And I'm feeling so fucking alone in this world
You won't believe me when I tell you
But everything that I respect is absent in you
So go shut me out and shut up, as this scene rages on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I can't decide what to do with people like you
I can't take it on the chin
[Chorus]
'Cause these are my convictions that you're tearing down
I won't give up
Even though it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now
He's not with us anymore
I'm not changing for the world
[Post-Chorus]
There's a time to let it go
When it comes I'll let you know, yeah!
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I'll take this mental anguish, fists thrown at my head
Because I'm right this time, yeah (this time)
And yeah, I'm right this time, oh yeah (this time)
I'm so right this time
[Chorus]
These are my convictions that you're tearing down
I won't give up
Even though it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now
She's not with us anymore
I'm not changing for the world
[Outro]
I won't change for your world
Oh, yeah, as we go, go, go, go, go, fists first to the world
Your concrete morals mold life's prison cells
And with fashion as warden, you're prisoners in hell in your world Rot in hell in your world
I'm not changing for the world
