lyrics

Daddy’s coming home
There’s no need to be scared
All the things you fear
Won’t make it out here
In the desert where we run
We’re always having fun
Put your shoulder to the wheel
There’s nothing left to fear

If I join the army will you think I'm a man?
If I cut my hair off will you think I look bad?
I forgot everything I learnt in school
I really believe I'm not good enough for you

I made you a promise that I will grow up
If I don't keep it are you gonna give up
I've never made peace with myself but you know
I would build an army out of you
I would let my hair grow long for you

I'm a piece of shhh
I'm hideous
I wake up too late
My hearts filled with hate
Will you cut me slack
I always look back

You think I'm so cool (You think I'm so cool)

The sound of a great band finding their voice. I love these songs, they did some things that they probably wouldn't do now. Jack Kitzerow
