Just Insane

Verse 1

I remember my first show May 8th, in Salt Lake, at DV8 Surrounded by punks who deviated Hooked, we took your bate

Liberty spikes, 2-feet high Mohawks; rad and bright Pants, plaid Captain Anarchists, mad At the red, white and blue flag

Waiting in line Stoked to sing the songs you wrote to make the wrongs right From lines on the page To what you spoke on the stage I was unchained From a church that shamed You gave me a woke mind Meanwhile, your eyes rove front rows Scoping tonight's ride

Sold out show, shit My cousin had no tix The Unseen was up next Then bam, you pull up in your whip

Starstruck, I saw your spiky hair Too young to know, I shook your hand "We can't get in What do we do, man?" Our predicament, you listened

Beneficent, who would've guessed it You added us to the guest list And when I was hit in the mosh pit Over the mic, you shouted this:

"If someone falls down, you pick 'em back up" Shit… Since a kid, I quoted your stuff No clue – the lives you fucked

Chorus

Are all heroes villains after all? Given the chance, do the same and fall Sink to lower levels, ignore the pain Born to revel If someone falls down You look away (Nah)

We're not all like them You're not what's been Done to you You're more than that event And men, be more than your sins Take the punishment If someone falls down Pick 'em back up again

Verse 2

I put myself in their shoes Their Converse; black What if it was me that you Had conversed with? I was 14 – I would've followed you to the grave, man Your attention I craved why would I say "no" if you led me backstage? Madly shaken, you were intrigued of all things by my virginity It'd be Hallucinatory to lose it to you what a story it'd make Teen prefrontal cortex, still being shaped Couldn't foresee what was taking place Face down, with no say You… just playing out a new day

Spreader bar, pick a part Rip it apart, then leave a scar Hop in the car, complicit counterparts Play the part of an artist like you got a heart

The people you harmed Out from the dark, press charges Now that you are the target You won't talk, (you) just walk around it!

Pardon the hope you were thrown Over by the wrong motive Demoted by a rabid mob But sixty you, took advantage of You're fifty, they're twelve

Preaching peace, you creep We'd read your lyrics and sing "I thought I'd begun to see a change" But it's all the same Just insane

Chorus

Are all heroes villains after all? Given the chance, do the same and fall Sink to lower levels, ignore the pain Born to revel If someone falls down You look away (Nah)

We're not all like them You're not what's been Done to you You're more than that event And men, be more than your sins Take the punishment If someone falls down Pick 'em back up again

Verse 3

We met again in '22 before I knew What's wrong with you Back then In my head, you proved Men don't do what they do

You let me down, punk too Rebel youth against abuse Huge Mohawks, but like jocks Caught up in getting their rocks off

Due to Gaia's plot Dude's use violence to rob what they want Live long enough, every hero you've got Will turn out rotten, watch

Hypocrisy can hurt worse than coercion Our trust, you earned it You spurred hope, then you burned it You turncoat You've cursed us

Smote by sexuality Make or erase families Pained to believe, desperately We – can behave, differently

I admit it, I got a dick too Kind of get it, got addictions But it can't be inevitable We'd sell our souls to fill a hole

We see men driven by semen But I think Most of them are just decent (Who) sublimate and integrate the ceaseless beast The trick the Earth will play to keep spraying our seed

From birth to the hearse Bear the burden of these urges And avoid perversion Tame our DNA Pray the victims be freed May men be less insane

Chorus

Are all heroes villains after all? Given the chance, do the same and fall Sink to lower levels, ignore the pain Born to revel If someone falls down You look away (Nah)

We're not all like them You're not what's been Done to you You're more than that event And men, be more than your sins Take the punishment If someone falls down Pick 'em back up again
