lyrics

You say my problem is I’m too nice
I don’t remember asking for advice
Sometimes people just can’t agree
And getting all worked up looks exhausting to me
I got enough in my life that I believe to matter
And this venom that you’re spitting’s just some worthless chatter

You’re spitting venom for spitting venom’s sake
Got no solutions nothing interesting to say
Just spitting venom for spitting venom’s sake

It’s an addictive little poison you got spewing out your mouth
You spread it on to others till they all begin to shout
Find an easy target piece by piece tear them down
With the pieces build a tower and a shiny crown
If that’s how you get pleasure then who am I to judge
But I won’t be listening I got other ways to catch a buzz

The outlaws and the punks are quick to say what isn’t cool
Here I thought they were all about abandoning the rules
The politicking talking head is too much to bear
They hatred in his voice has got me pulling out my hair
By god they got me right when I thought I had it figured out
Now I’m just another red face foaming at the mouth
