From Martyrdom to Star(Tyr)Dom

Shut the fuck up. That's enough today
You made your point, I can't make mine and that's the way we're gonna keep it, bro
Get out now. Get out fast. That's my only plan
I have no skills but pleasing teenagers with a melody they'll soon forget

So let's have a conversation
Thank you Jesus!
Some lives big and we've got coattails to burn!

And when they tell me my "convictions did not pay the rent this month. Stop your whining and write a better song. Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing. Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit."

Shit, man. I fell HARD
Hard-on for a dream, my desperate attempt to bastardize a perfectly good medium

Conjure up one more conversation whore thank the fucking lord that someone's living goddamn large
"And we've got coattails to burn!"

My landlord said that my convictions will NOT pay the rent this month
Find an office and stop writing these songs
The neighbors are complaining

Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit

And contrary to how young we wanna stay
We're getting older every day
So turn the power off, go do something
Regardless of how young we wanna stay
We're getting older every day
Turn the power off and stake your claim

Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
Even martyr starving artists get tired of eating shit
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than nothing
Even martyr starving artists would rather eat meals than shit
