lyrics

Papa told me
That I had to grow up to be
Another accountant
Like the rest of the family

Mama agreed
She said so incessantly
A stable job and a family
Is the way to respectability

You only bend until you break
It’s a mistake to play it safe
Lookin’ hard for an easy escape

In the schoolyard throwin’ fists
With a bunch of conventionalists
They would cry to teacher
‘Cause they were all convictionless

All my teachers tried to say
Just how I should spend my day
Trapped inside their classes
So I can pad my resume

You only bend until you break
It’s a mistake to play it safe
Lookin’ hard for an easy escape

You only bend until you break
It’s a mistake to play it safe
Lookin’ hard for an easy escape

And I
Wanna live life my way
So we
Gotta fight society!

And they still come after you
From the HDPW:
"It’s our town, so don’t you go
Anywhere that you want to!"

The cops will back ‘em up—
Self-righteous, fascist fucks
Hell-bent on compliance
Tell us how you feel about the government!

And I
Wanna live life my way
So we
Gotta fight society!

You only bend until you break
It’s a mistake to play it safe
Lookin’ hard for an easy escape

You only bend until you break
It’s a mistake to play it safe
Lookin’ hard for an easy escape

And I
Wanna live life my way
So we
Gotta fight society!
