"Critically Disdained" lyrics

"Critically Disdained"

Run it up the flag pole
And see if anyone salutes
And then run it into the ground until it dies
Then bring it back to life
All together now
We're just the same as
We've always been
And if you think you're better
You're probably right

We're not here to change the world
We're here to laugh at others
Maybe get a nap along the way
So dress it up the way you wish and step aside
And then meet us at the bar and we'll let you buy

Take a number, take a seat
We've been here quite some time
And it doesn't seem we're leaving anytime soon
The bathroom's down the hall
Take a shot at us and see how far you get
We eat chumps like you for breakfast
When we get up at noon

We're not here to change the world
We're here to laugh at others
Maybe get a nap along the way
So dress it up the way you wish and step aside
And then meet us at the bar and we'll let you buy

Hey jealousy
Is a song by the band the Gin Blossoms
I accidentally saw them once
Hey, I get carried away
But it's easy to be unafraid
When you're so critically disdained
For being happy, smiling, drinking
Laughing, cussing, not overthinking
Rocking while the ship is sinking
And we can't even swim
(Show off those drum lessons, Gary!)
(That's my kid)

We're not here to change the world
We're here to laugh at others
Maybe get a nap along the way
So dress it up the way you wish and step aside
And then meet us at the bar
Yeah, we'll be at the bar!
Yeah, meet us at the bar
And we'll let you buy
