lyrics

Shit, everything's screwed
Every time I try to tell them, I just end up getting the boot
So I'll play along instead

Hold onto your chair
Every time I hear a slur, I'm more sure that you're getting impaired for validation; I'm sick of this station

Poisoning ourselves is all we can do
Blissful is ignorance; blessed are bottles of brew
And drinking for two...
Drinking with you...

Shit, where's common sense?
Swear it was here in the morning; each minute I'm feeling more dense
A bit less alive...

Take pride that you're cruel
Everything you've said tonight serves no purpose than trying to be cool
A flair for dramatic; this station's just static

Poisoning ourselves is all we can do
Blissful is ignorance; blessed are bottles of brew
And drinking with you
It's not the drugs; it's the company you keep
Can't learn a thing from your sermons
We're falling asleep
La da da da

Poisoning ourselves in basements and bars
Blissful is ignorance; blissful is cause for alarm
And it's killing your arm

Maybe these choices were easy, not right
The ghost of your youth hanging heavy 'round Saturday night
For the rest of your life

Poisoning ourselves is all we can do
Blissful is ignorance; blessed are bottles of brew
And drinking with you
It's not the drugs; it's the company you keep
Can't learn a thing from your sermons
We're falling asleep
La da da da
