Use/Value Lyrics by Stick Against Stone

Get It All Out

2013

Just the signature on the check is a helpful reminder that you're still alive
Would you be in this position if abortion had been easier in '55?
Wear your heart on your sleeve and it'll fall off in the wash
Now it's in the sewer, now the river, now it's lost
Now we've finally forgotten what it takes to break free
If you don't hurt the one you love, you'll sure as hell
Hurt the one you need
You only love what you can use
When it's useful to do so
But you hate it when you've got it to lose
You only love what you can use
When it's useful to do so
But you hate it when you've got it to lose
You only love what you can use
When it's useful to do so
But you hate it when you've got it to lose
Never had to stand for anything right
So they act like they can't do anything wrong
Just remember that the ones
Who finally learn to play the game
Have only learned how to be
Clever pawns
So they're staring us down from the cracks in the wall
It is peeling from the ceiling; it is sick in the hall
But when your eyes are full of dust
And no tears are left to cry
They'll be staring us down and they'll be asking us "why?"
I know we both have been abused
We've been used by someone
I guess that this is what was meant...
What they call love
I know we both have been abused
We've been used by someone
I guess that this is what was meant...
What they call love
I know we both have been abused
We've been used by someone
I guess that this is what was meant...
What they call love
How many times have we said we don't believe
In love or faith or heart?
But how many times have we been riddled with bullets
And left holding the gun at the start?
