It Ceases to Be “Whining” If You’re Still “Shitting Blood” (Lyrics)

Sing the fucking songs you taught the world to sing Sing it right unless you want to fail Listen back and punch the shit that we don't like You can't do it right in just one take Because you aren't good enough You were never good enough to sing your own songs oh so perfect If you fuck this up, you fuck the record deal And respect of all your famous friends Drift too far and it is inaccessible Do it right, we worked as hard as you And we didn't come this far For you to fuck this up and then just fuck our whole damn lives So write a song with lots of hooks Remember why you wrote songs in the first place Let's start a band This is all that you can do So write a song with lots of hooks Remember why you wrote songs in the first place Let's start a band This is all that you can do So cut the cookie, five sharp points will make a star Cut the corners, get the biggest tours Traffic violations mean bad credit now Twenty triple zeros in the hole And it wouldn't be so bad If we crashed the fucking van and watched our fucking debt go up in flames You know, it wouldn't be so bad If we just threw up our hands instead of feeding something I did not want to create Your underground is a mistake So write a song without a hook Remember why you wrote songs in the first place Let's start a band We've got nothing else to do But to write a song without a hook Remember why you wrote songs in the first place Not for a man who runs a fucking focus group So write a song without a hook Remember why you wrote songs in the first place Not for a man who runs a fucking focus group So write a song without a hook Remember why you wrote songs in the first place Not to impress The band you opened up for yesterday
