Used To Be Lyrics by Have Nots

Serf City USA

0

You're gonna fix it from the inside sounds like just another way to say you couldn't cope
A noose or just a pretty necktie, and I sit back and watch you choke
Said you were gonna make a difference
The only difference is you're on the other side
I guess the grass is really greener
I guess that check was really worth your pride
Cos I would rather work my fingers to the bone I swear that's all that keeps me sane
And I will revel in the rubble while you catch the last outbound train
You take the cake I take the pain
Of watching as another one who used to be a punk gets brainwashed down the drain
I saw you in an elevator, used to be a punk but now you work for city hall
You read my clash shirt, said you saw them back in 83 but that doesn't make us the same at all
You were gonna fix it from the inside its been a minute and the gears are still in place
Cos some get buried in the landslide, but for some others thats just not the case
Cos I would rather work my fingers to the bone I swear thats all that keeps me sane
And I will revel in the rubble while you catch the last outbound train
You take the cake I take the pain
Of watching as another one who used to be a punk gets brainwashed down the drain
I know sometimes it's hard to stick to your convictions
Was it all just childish fiction
You evicted and got over, and I'm not playing like I'm holier than thou
That's a weight that I don't need on my shoulders
But if it doesn't make you sick inside to see what you've become
Then you never really meant it from the get go, son
If you could see the you that I see when I see you telling me
Just who the f*ck you think you used to be...
