The End Of The Asterisk

(album: We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed - 2008)

On considering religion
or military conscription
is the moment
I realise
I'm stuck

Asserting ourselves at traffic lights
in foreign countries in the very dead of night
is the moment
I realise
I'm stuck

Uh-oh, this is the end of the asterisk.
Babe, that punk's got nothing on me, this is the end of the footnote.

Extorting money
from your parents
Your disgusting parents.

Honestly, you're an absolute waste of time
craving attention with your self deprecation.
I'll tell you one thing:
It's spot on
and I'm better

Uh-oh, this is the end of the asterisk.
Babe, that punk's got nothing on me, this is the end of the footnote.

Extorting money
from your parents
Your disgusting parents.

Honestly, you're an absolute tragedy,
not like 'heroically' in all of the books you read.
I read your novella,
oh how I laughed.
Killed off the lot of them.
