The talkshow punk is wondering if his next line's enough to shake em up
He's gonna shake em up
and when his pitchfork hits the ceiling he's not sure if he even believes himself
In himself.
Oh contrarian, you ripped your tongue right off of the rails again
You think you're scaring them? You spit it fast but all it takes is a hand to lend.
You do your 'sacred' work, the look on your face whenever you misplace a word.
You're gonna make it hurt, spitting butane in the face of campus fireworks.
Follow you down, the easy way out.
Looks like you know your way around.
Strike me down, Puget sound.
Strike me down, from an ivory tower.
Oh contrarian, you ripped your tongue right off of the rails again
You think you're scaring them? You spit it fast but all it takes is a hand to lend.
You do your sacred work, spitting butane in the face of campus fireworks.
