Mark Gunnery - Anarkikes текст песни

I've been in this town for too damn long

Use all my energy making bagels instead of songs


Wake up at seven a.m. for shit pay

And something inside is telling me

It's not okay



And my heart feels like it's been torn apart

By a love who thought I was full of shit from the start

Of the chapter of history we wrote

But I drowned in drunken dreams

And now I'm soaked.



My boss says "we should never concede to terrorism

Or give any land back to the Palestinians.

They're just animals, anyway."

And I was so goddam mad

I couldn't think of anything to say.



But Baltimore's got some of the people I most like

Like Mordi, Ira and me, we're the anarkikes

And I love them more than you might ever believe

But autumn's falling fast

And I've got to leave.



I went in Wednesday and I quit my job.

Called my boss a racist, ethnocentric slob.

Stole one last bagel, declared my independence.

I don't think I'm gonna be using him

For a reference.



I biked out to where I knew my friends would be

At the park some fool named after Robert E. Lee.

Ira said "why aren't you at work?" I said "I don't need that shit."

He said "let's paint this town black

Before you abandon it."
