all that i get

If this is all that I get for being kind

I gotta start being meaner

Tack a brand new course, say just what I feel

And cast off my polite demeanor

If this is all that I get for being warm

Then, man, I oughta be colder

Strike a real big blow and make literal

That chip off of your god damn shoulder

If this is all that I get for coming clean

Fuck it, I wanna be messy

Swing a baseball bat at your windshield glass

And dare you to have them arrest me

If this is all that I get for staying true

Maybe I'd better be lying

Rip a well-worn page from your old playbook

Make a promise to just stop trying
