"From Martyrdom To Star(tyr)dom" lyrics
"From Martyrdom To Star(tyr)dom"
Shut the fuck up. That's enough today
You made your point, I can't make mine and that's the way we're gonna keep it, bro
Get out. Get out fast. That's my only chance
I have no skills but pleasing teenagers with a melody they'll soon forget
So let's have a conversation
Thank you Jesus! Someone lives big
And we've got, got coattails to burn!
And when they tell me my convictions did not pay the rent this month
Stop your whining and write a better song
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit."
Shit, man. I fell hard. Hard-on for a dream
My desperate attempt to bastardize a perfectly good medium
Conjure up one more conversation whore
Thank the fucking lord that someone's living goddamn large
"And we've got, got coattails to burn!"
My landlord said that my convictions did not pay the rent this month
Find an office and stop writing these songs
The neighbors are complaining
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit
And contrary to how young we wanna stay
We're getting older every day
Turn the power off, go do something
Regardless of how young we wanna stay
We're getting older every day
Turn the power off and stake your claim
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
Even martyr starving artists get tired of eating shit
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit

Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono

Streetlight Manifesto - "Linoleum" Possessions never meant anything to me
Yeah, I'm not crazy
Well that's not true,
I've got a bed, and a guitar
And a dog named Bob who pisses on my floor
That's right, I've got a floor
So what, so...

Like breakfast, and breathing, and short term memory

The Dead Milkmen - "Punk Rock Girl" One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there
And she almost knocked me dead

Streetlight Manifesto - "We Will Fall Together" I once knew a guy, obsessed with the afterlife
Oh what a terrible day that was, he realized he'd wasted all his time
Time was ticking by, and he'd been left behind
And as the clock tick-tocked his...
