lyrics

flashing that gang sign
you know you've never held a gun in your life
you've got a wife and two kids
and your checks are signed
by a computerized guy you've never met
in your god forsaken existence
the resistance you put up is shut up
the world is an oyster that's cut up
the girl with the mohawk walks by
she snickers and sighs
she has your eyes
our mutual friend is disgusting
i feel so stupid for trusting sometimes
what rhymes with ironic
strung out hippie headband iconic
with the ipod on shuffle
in a camouflage duffel
earphones hiding behind a dk hoodie
the weakerthans play
her silhouette burns away with the sunrise
she has your eyes

driving home from san francisco
drunk on your shows
you sold ten cds without saying please
what's your secret
a holy clover
i really hope i don't get pulled over
in the drive thru lane
soaking up a rain
with a dozen blankets i ascertain
that she might need a dollar
but to her surprise
she has your eyes
