 x2
Well  it's  hard  to believe in much
 When you're in Tampa Bay.
 And the coastline is drowning beneath all the sunshine and
 condo's and cocaine.
 And everyone  around's just waiting round  here to be dead
(Bar) (Bar)
 From your rich grandma on down through the crackhead.
Well  I guess  that Florida
 is the wrong kinda wasteland for me,
 and St. Petersburg is a city of ghosts and bad dreams.
  (Bar) (Bar)
 But I don't go to college or California...hah-hah-hah-hah-ha
 No I don't  go to college or  California.
Well  I'm  not  a nihilist,
 I just can't pledge alliegance to shit.
 And that goes just the same for your God's and your empires
 and your scene politics.
  (Bar) (Bar)
 Now I'm not saying I'm not an asshole, just that you're one too.
 But there's  six bilion of us so I'm not saying  nothing new.
Straight  edge  never got me through
 one single night this cold.
  (Bar) (Bar)
 But you know how that goes, or maybe you just really don't.
  (Bar) (Bar)
 But I don't go to college or California...hah-hah-hah-hah-ha
 No I don't  go to college or  California
