Against Me! - Holy Shit! lyrics

I am oh so fascinated i am oh so entertained
Standing here like a comedian
I repeat what I said, again and again
And again until the meaning has become
An imitation of it'self
An impression of an original
Defeats the fucking purpose
I don't know where this is going
But, it's looking more and more like
The same place where we started

Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us
Not on them kids pretending to be
Astronauts, police officers, and firemen
Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us
Not on them kids pretending to be
Astronauts, police officers, and firemen

And everybody's watching the lead
Singer in the bands
The guitars explode into a
Drumbeat that's driving
It's pretty fucking boring, ah
Don't you think?
And of all the things we'd ask
Of all the ways we'd like for it to be
They're just drunken conversations
Song lyrics sung at the top
Of our lungs so desperately
I believe in a power that is
Of and by the people i believe in an art
That cannot be compromised
I believe that I will endure
And I will overcome
And I will sing it until I
No longer remember the reason
What was that reason?

Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us
Not on them kids pretending to be
Astronauts, police officers, and firemen
Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us
Not on them kids pretending to be
Astronauts, police officers, and firemen
