Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance
And vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs
You know nothing about art or sex
That you couldn't read in any trendy New York
Underground fashion magazine
[Verse 2]
Prototypical non-conformist
You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo
You adhere to a set of standards and tastes
That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges
Bullshit
[Verse 3]
Giving the thumbs up and thumbs down
To incoming and outgoing trends
And styles of music and art
Go analog, baby, you're so post modern
You're diving face forward into an antiquated path
It's disgusting, it's offensive, don't stick your nose up at me
[Verse 4]
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 5]
You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends
Pontificating to each other
Forever competing for that one moment of self-aggrandizing glory
In which you hog the intellectual spotlight
Holding dominion over the entire shallow pointless conversation
Oh, we're not worthy
[Verse 6]
When you walk by a group of quote-unquote normal people
You chuckle to yourself
Patting yourself on the back as you scoff
It's the same superiority complex
Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell
And makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma
You spend every moment of your waking life bitching about
[Verse 7]
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I say, yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm proud of my life
And the things that I have done
Proud of myself
And the loner I've become
You're free to whine
It will not get you far
I do just fine
My car and my guitar
[Verse 9]
Proud of my life
And the things that I have done
Proud of myself
And the loner I've become
You're free to whine
It will not get you far
I do just fine
My car and my guitar, yeah
[Verse 10]
Well, let me tell you this
I am shamelessly self-involved
I spend hours in front of the mirror
Making my hair elegantly disheveled
I worry about how this album will sell
Because I believe it will determine
The amount of sex I will have in the future
I self medicate with drugs and alcohol
To treat my extreme social anxiety
[Verse 11]
You are a faker (Admit it)
You are a fraud (Admit it)
Yeah, you're livin' a lie (Hey)
Livin' a lie (Hey), Your life is living a lie
You don't impress me (Admit it)
You don't intimidate me (Admit it)
Why don't you bow down, get on the ground
And walk this fucking plank (Yeah)
[Verse 12]
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I said yeah, what do you (What do you?)
[Verse 13]
Proud of my life
And the things that I have done
Proud of myself
And the loner I've become
You're free to whine
It will not get you far
I do just fine
My car and my guitar, guitar go
[Verse 14]
I drift, drift, drift, drift, drifting
I drift, drift, drift, drift, drifting, oh
[Verse 15]
And I am done with this
I want to taste the breeze of every great city
My car and my guitar
My car and my guitar
[Verse 16]
So you've come to be
Made of these
Urgent unfulfilled
Oh no, no, no, no, no
When I'm dead, I'll rest
When I'm dead, I'll rest, lay still
When I'm dead, I'll rest, I'll rest
When I'm dead, I'll rest, I'll rest
When I'm dead, I'll rest, I'll rest
When I'm dead, I'll rest, I'll rest
