lyrics

Record's spinning round and round
And so is my rage
Since no one understands
I'll write it down on a page

Passive and aggressive
Are my friends in this fight
Maybe I'll just pack my bags
And blow this town tonight
Tonight

Someday I'll break through
And show you spuds what I can do

Life is so much harder
When you're a small town martyr
One step forward, two steps back
And the whole damn world's already off track
Life is such a grind
When you have a pretty mind

Die my hair and change my clothes
It all seems so right
Until I step outside
Into reality's light

Being weird and different
Seemed so cool on TV
That might work for others,
But it always backfires on me
On me

I say that I don't care
But wilt when people start to stare

Life is so much harder
When you're a small town martyr
One step forward, two steps back
And the whole damn world's already off track
Life is such a grind
When you have a pretty mind

Get high with harlequins
Ride synthwave coattails into the night
Leave all your old friends
Go start a brand-new life
But when the new thing starts to go
I'll be on the sidelines with a "told you so"

Stuck at home on Friday night
With nothing to do
I'll write a manifesto on pink paper
And send it to you
To you

Something's in the air
Have I finally learned to care?

Life is so much harder
When you're a small town martyr
One step forward, two steps back
And the whole damn world's already off track
Life is such a grind
When you have a pretty mind
