Dancing Through The Mental Breakdown
You had a mental breakdown When the waiter brought you something you didn’t order I took that as the final indication That you need to leave New York (Get the fuck outta here) City rent had sucked you dry So you sublet your self worth Just to survive We think poetry’s pretentious Yet we scribble down our lyrics And think it’s so different cos we sing em (I don’t know) So don’t say you wanna move to Berlin When you never heard Autobahn Front to back Don’t tell me that you wanna go home When you’ve hated your hometown since high school And don’t tell me that you wanna dance When you know damn well You got two left feet, baby Oh shake your ass You don’t need feet for that I said shake your ass SongtexteBefore you have another panic attack I said shake your ass I know you wanna but you can’t look back I had a mental breakdown At the shoegaze show at Space Camp You said keep drinkin’ (Well alright) Her profile said she’s a Communist Upon asking her in person She had nothing to say, nothing to say, nothing to say about it Fenders lack distortion As she quotes the Manifesto And suddenly Docs just aren’t punk anymore A few drinks in She’s playing us her album off of SoundCloud And says it’s ‘bout the system (Well, the revolution’s gotta start somewhere, right?) They said, “Don’t say you wanna move to Detroit – You’ve never heard Fan-Tas-Tic, Vol. 2!” (Go ladies) Don’t call yourself rock n roll When all you sing about is bookstores and pretty girls And don’t argue with the folks at the club When all you do is recite what you read on the ‘gram, baby Oh shake your ass Ain’t no app for that I said shake your ass Tik Tok goes crazy for that I said shake your ass I know you wanna but you can’t look back Aus Songtexte Mania
