"Poor Boy" lyrics
"Poor Boy"
You do what you love, put your blood, sweat, tears into it
They love what you do, it's a deal, can't get out of it and
I was throwing out the pens and paper
I keep running, but it's smell you later
I'm a poor boy from the country
What does Los Angeles want with me?
Sitting at my desk last week
Now I'm tryna be forgotten
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Me and my ego sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Nothing new, boy, I do it every week
I'm a rockstar, punk rock though
Soccer mom kind, there's some Chicago
Shitty business at the rock show
Looking good, bro, where's your head, though?
I'm not gonna lie, but it kinda hurts a little bit
Especially when I try to think
I can smell a thousand rhymes running in the thick of it
Something's gonna start to stink (Ha)
I'm a poor boy from the country
What does Los Angeles want with me?
Sitting at my desk last week
Now I'm tryna be forgotten
I don't care what you've heard
Industry's a dirty word
Sing it loud, sing a little louder
Sitting on the fence last week
Now I'm tryna be forgotten
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
I'm a poor boy from the country
What does Los Angeles want with me?
Sitting at my desk last week
Now I'm tryna be forgotten
I don't care what you've heard
Industry's a dirty word
Sing it loud, sing a little louder
Sitting on the fence last week
Now I'm tryna be forgotten
You do what you love, put your blood, sweat, tears into it
They love what you do, it's a deal, can't get out of it

Point North - "Conditions" So here's a different story
With it a different ending
Somewhere between the plot
It started with a sorry
A sudden sense of trusting
Moving forward just to stop
Maybe someday
I'll let you back...
Trash Boat - "You Know, You Know, You Know" Dear Merriet, when I was a young boy, I used to think about how I would die
And the scenario always played out the same:
Lonely, alone, and with no money
So it looks like for once, I've done...
Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! - "Set It Straight" Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Let's set this straight
Heard it all before
No excuses anymore
You're a broken record in my head
I take it back, every word I ever said
It's the truth I got you figured out...
Youth Fountain - "Grinding Teeth" We've been here before, passed out on the floor
You tell me and all your friends how you don't need me anymore
How you don't need me anymore
And who the fuck am I kidding?
I know how this goes now...
Sunrise Skater Kids - "First World Tragedy" Go!
Let me tell you 'bout all of my problems
They don't seem to go
And I can't fathom conditions that are
Worse than my own
That's not what I want, that's not what I asked for
Next time I speak up,...
