Give a Damn

[Intro]
I was just born
I was just born
I was just born

[Verse 1]
The same things have always gotten my goat
I was wide-eyed, pumped up with Ritalin
Alarming teachers with my tendency to float
In ~ism class, "Kiss-My-Ass"-ism
“All hail Muhammad," what a wonderful thought
Any imposed social structure is a blood clot
We need something that can open their wrists
And let it coat our lips, to bliss, to hell with this
Just piss, piss, yellow tint the sea
Those fish, fish frightened by the hue
Truth burns so thunderous and cloudy
The lie so vast and clear blue

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gaudy, sweat-soaked, down amongst the demons
Sorry, good Sir, have we hurt your feelings?

[Chorus]
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
We don’t give a damn what they say
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
Damn what they say, (damn what they say)

[Verse 2]
When they tell you that you’re born to quit
That you’ve been carved to bits, binary must stay split, spit
“I like this band without a modicum of shame
They’ve made some messed-up claims about your mind games”
You’re not alone if you’re off-put
By the stench of summer sweet
Rotting dead beneath the sun
And how they bow at his feet

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Apparently there’s a thing called physics
And a billion other things not encompassed in it
One, a little thing called t-t-teen spirit
I’m thirty, but it’s worthy, come on, just sing along with it

[Chorus]
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
We don’t give a damn what they say
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
Damn what they say, (damn what they say)
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
One flash, baby, now you fall in love
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
One crash, baby, now you fall in... (damn what they say)

[Verse 3]
We won’t stand for
A façade, oh my god, I want to take it apart
We won’t dance for
Any beat with a break, for goodness sake
Clap your hands for
Guillotine for the twee and all the Tweedle-dees
We won’t stand for
We will not, we will not, we will not, we won’t
We will not, we will not, we will not, we won’t

[Chorus]
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
We don’t give a damn what they say
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
Damn what they say, (damn what they say)
We don't!
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
One flash, baby, now you fall in love
(We don’t give a damn what they say)
One crash, baby, now you fall in... (damn what they say)
