lyrics

The Basement Song
I look out over the spot
We turned into a parking lot
And I grow tired
The days have grown too long
They play their iPods out of speakers
Dance music and auto tuned singers
And they don’t get the joke
No they don’t see the irony

And there was nothing there for me
Although I thought that there would be
And I’m broken down and tired
Thanks for the opportunity

We don’t give a fuck about a market
Or how we might saturate it
We wrote this song to play it
So book another show in your basement

I find I’m thinking of home a lot
And I’m drinking more than I thought
And I’ve grown tired
Because these days have grown too long

I didn’t start a band for drugs and chicks
I started it because I’m young and pissed
But you don’t get the joke
No you don’t see the irony

Do you remember when you were 16?
When the words you wrote were the main thing
When you shoulder tapped for beers and
You chase the dreams in your head
When the show was all you needed
When you sat with friends and you said…
