lyrics
Why’d you have to go and wash your hands,
Now what’s left for us to wrestle with in this old land?
Oh we’ve been working hard for the girl.
Remember when the summer never came?
We went hunting shadows in a blackened daze.
Oh we were working hard for the girl.
Doused in all the bullshit in this world,
Hauled like a puppet on a string,
But fuck I’d do it all again.
Yeah I’d take one more kick if it meant we would ride on out just like suburban renegades – twisting the arms of anyone who’d come our way.
But if you’ve noticed, we’re two sad brothers in protest.
What’s been lost will only give you tears,
Always on the hunt for those glory years.
Slowly chip away at regret whilst you’re wearing me as a vest,
Downing all the guilt for myself, ‘cause we’ve been working hard that girl.
Come give it one more shake on the dance floor,
Soothsaying sharks are here with their wisdom,
Lace up your gloves and sway with their rhythm,
Yeah I have noticed the bruise on your forehead,
So here’s my flag - dressed white by concession,
Just give me one more year of obsession.
This blinkered arson needs your assistance to help put out a fire.
When the dust sets upon your frame,
Will you find yourself thinking in a different way?
Yeah we were working hard for the girl,
Eating all the bullshit in this world,
Dragged like a puppet on a string,
But fuck I’d do it all again.
My friend, would you do it all again?
