Quitting in the Name Songtext
Bury me with all this stupid merch
I′ll sleep better knowin' I fed a few more worms
After pissin′ my whole life away waitin' for Kate to get off work
It's just song after song after song about doin′ fuckin′ nothing
When I could've been doing somethin′
That was actually worth somethin' to anyone
Well, anyone but me
But when I only think of me then of course this is what I get
You get what you give
So when you don′t give a shit
I don't know what you′d expect
You've got all the time you could ever need
To do anything you could ever want
But it seems like all you ever wanna do
Is smoke pot and play Tony Hawk
You say "I'm just waiting on better things, y′know?"
But I don′t think that's how that works
People usually say that when they know
(Or they′re pretty sure)
What those better things might be
Or why they might be on the way
'Cause I don′t think they just show up
If all you're gonna do is wait
I know you hate to let yourself down but
I hate this new approach
If you stop wishin′ into one hand
You might as well just shit in both
'Cause quitting in the name of
"Trying to be more realistic"
Is just a nicer way to say
You've picked the path of no resistance
It′s a nicer way to say
You′re afraid to try
But you won't admit it
You never know until you try
And you′re scared of both
But you won't admit it
I′ll sleep better knowin' I fed a few more worms
After pissin′ my whole life away waitin' for Kate to get off work
It's just song after song after song about doin′ fuckin′ nothing
When I could've been doing somethin′
That was actually worth somethin' to anyone
Well, anyone but me
But when I only think of me then of course this is what I get
You get what you give
So when you don′t give a shit
I don't know what you′d expect
You've got all the time you could ever need
To do anything you could ever want
But it seems like all you ever wanna do
Is smoke pot and play Tony Hawk
You say "I'm just waiting on better things, y′know?"
But I don′t think that's how that works
People usually say that when they know
(Or they′re pretty sure)
What those better things might be
Or why they might be on the way
'Cause I don′t think they just show up
If all you're gonna do is wait
I know you hate to let yourself down but
I hate this new approach
If you stop wishin′ into one hand
You might as well just shit in both
'Cause quitting in the name of
"Trying to be more realistic"
Is just a nicer way to say
You've picked the path of no resistance
It′s a nicer way to say
You′re afraid to try
But you won't admit it
You never know until you try
And you′re scared of both
But you won't admit it
