"No Such Thing As A Society" lyrics

"No Such Thing As A Society"

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I spoke a little too loud
I separated myself from the crow-wow-wowd
When it stops being fun
I won't hesitate, I'll run run run

No backwards glance
So please appreciate my stance
You can use my words for free
I'm just writing my own obituary

What if all the bile eats me alive?
Berating myself, well into the lateness of my life
My family were told there's no such thing as a society
Despite the evidence I find surrounding me in reality

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I walk along the high-level bridge
The river below dissolves in the mist
And the pleasure I seek has passed long ago
I pinned my colours to the mast

Complacency is not for me
There's nothing worse than mediocrity
I'm just writing my own obituary

What if all the bile eats me alive?
Berating myself, well into the lateness of my life
My family were told there's no such thing as a society
Despite the evidence I find surrounding me
Reality defies the stubborn rule of ideology
I'm way past caring what the doubt and torment[?] thinks of me

Defeat is not a word I often say
But I think the time has come to use it anyway
We must move on, my heart just cracked and something's wrong
We must move on, my heart just cracked and something's gone
Anyway, I hope my news won't leave a sickly aftertaste
Especially if you're having a trying time today
