and  it's true that we're teenage  fools
 trading five  days a week to work  and school
 just to sneak  around on weekends watching for  the cops
 and waltz  in abandoned parking lots
 and call  these cracks in the system  a revolution
 but to the vanguard  party that's criticizing:
 what have you  been up to since the Soviet  Union?
 when you're not starving
life  is just the mechanics  of eating
 talking to you  is raw eternity,  but what isn't these days?
 and if our only gift  is this dark black void,  well to me that's okay
 cuz our nihilism  is the terrorist wing  of youthful apathy
 burn everything  down just to drink  in the ruins of what  used to be an
 American city
 so if it's all the same,  then I'll pass  out tonight still hating  punk
 rock
 but in love with you  and the kitchen floor  that you let me sleep on
 there's whiskey in my bottle,  and you know  there's enough for you
 I'll join  you in that grave  your digging if there's room  enough for two
 where there's no risk of death
life  is just the logistics  of breath
 tomorrow I'll wake  up in a ditch  with every friend that ever meant
 anything
 on the opposite  side of the country
 but I still wouldn't trade anything  for the nights  when the rain
 promised
 us at 2 AM
 in some burnout industrial  shell of a town  that we'd never be dry
 again
 and I'll keep walking  and running and drinking  towards a day  that I
 can
 see
 suicide  as a tragedy
