Anti-Manifesto

Dance and laugh and play
Ignore the message we convey
It seems we're only here to entertain
A rebellion cut-to-fit
I refuse to be the soundtrack to it
While we entertain we're still knee-deep in shit

There's something wrong inside
We've played it safe, enjoyed the ride
You won't like this but I've something to confide
We strive for something more
Than a faded sticker on a skateboard
Now we've rained on your parade and we're out the door
And I don't even care any fucking more

Witness this pair in accomplice
Witness a pair: Lethargic, unconscious
No brows furrowed in question
Complacent, completing their tasks
No questions asked

Consider this critic a cretin
Just resting on laurels completely invented
Word acrobatics performed with both harness and net
I am so full of shit

But I will remain until this self-awareness fades
Until I defeat the purpose of this soapbox
That you made
That you made

Hope, perseverance, a vision (some doubt)
Green ink, a two-six, a bad case of big-mouth
A sum of our parts and I've never laughed harder
A song in our hearts and I've never laughed harder
It don't really matter 'cuz nothing's ever felt as right as this

By the way, I stole this riff

Dance and laugh and play
Ignore the message we convey
It seems we're only here to entertain
A rebellion cut-to-fit
I refuse to be the soundtrack to it
While we entertain we're still knee-deep in shit

And we're so full of it
