Against Me!
Jordan’s First Choice
[Verse 1]
Tell me how could you compromise yourself like this?
Tell me how could you blame anyone else
When you aren't really committed?
Tell me where was your head
When you broke that promise to yourself
The one where you don't forget
Every life lesson that happened before your eyes
So you don't wake up to regret she's gone years away?
You had hopes and dreams of a day
Where everything, everything, everything would come together
You wouldn't have to be so scared
[Chorus]
Are we just working till a day we decide we've had enough?
All along we were strong enough to be sick of it
And put them back in their fucking place
We never asked for this responsibility
We were never in this together
[Verse 2]
The reality that you know is just behind your idea
Of a society, security, and self
Am I just fucked up? 'Cause I can't remember
The last time any of this made sense
The last time I could stand up to myself
Street faces all blend into one
They ask for spare change
Am I forgetting what it looks like
From the other side?
Have I forgotten where I've come from?
[Chorus]
Are we just working till a day we decide we've had enough?
All along we were strong enough to be sick of it
And put them back in their fucking place
We never asked for this responsibility
We were never in this together
