You Can't Buy A Backbone Lyrics

you'll go out of your way
and into mine so you can say
“I'm the one he wrote this song about”

you caused a mental breakdown
that caused the words I wrote down
I don't know why you would be so proud

don't identify
with their well worn lies
open up your eyes
and don't keep blindly singing

don't identify
with their well worn lies
it's just the same disguise
that you fell for last time

they keep their lyrics vague
so that more kids can relate
no one seems to complain
to me they all just sound the same
better than average ain't too hard these days
but real talent is still a rarity

at least I base this
on things that happened
not just imagined
and wrote for your consumption

I know you'll take this
all out of context
still glad that you're in the crowd
“oh shit, did I say that out loud?”
