Name: Mary Todd
Duration: P00H01M52S
Description: I never really fit in with any scene or clique or whatever the fuck. It always got to me growing up and especially now. I was always too emo for punk, too punk for hardcore, and too into hardcore for anyone else to take me seriously. This song is about scene politics and how if you aren't in with the cool kids you are a nobody.

about

I never really fit in with any scene or clique or whatever the fuck. It always got to me growing up and especially now. I was always too emo for punk, too punk for hardcore, and too into hardcore for anyone else to take me seriously. This song is about scene politics and how if you aren't in with the cool kids you are a nobody.

lyrics

Check out the chain gang and rehearse the scene. If you don't know anyone you are not anything so keep keeping on the dead end dream and screaming over dead end beats. Get a load of the dream team getting a load of me! To each his own half-empty philosophy. You just make it look so god damn easy. If you think you will always know where I am at or where I am coming from you won't. I am a barricade you will break, so where is the fun in such a game? I am a candle in a shitstorm, babe, this light will surely fade away. But "Happiness is A Warm Gun" and I am only heating up. Is it really even worth it in the end? Is it really even worth it at all?

The Beatles wrote the song "Happiness is a Warm Gun". I stole that line for this song. :P
