Lyrics
TITLE:
I can?t for the life of me
CHORUS:
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me figure it out
VERSE:
Watching all my steps being careful to not offend my brethren
While Mexican music through a bad P.A. and an open window wrecks me
Have to learn enough Spanish to say "Shut the hell up" but of course I won't
I'll just try and learn the words to the song
CHORUS:
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me figure it out
VERSE:
Little boys with little guns and little minds make life harder
Maybe I'm a little jealous wishing I was that bad willing to die for no cause
God, mother and a gang tattoo is all I'd need
Drive a car off a cliff in a high speed chase to make the evening news
CHORUS:
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me figure it out
VERSE:
When do I get to relax, when do get to know I'm safe?
The obvious answer is never
All you can do is make your little slice of the world your own
And know that somewhere someone you don't know might want in
CHORUS:
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me figure it out
VERSE:
Underground music is the new disco, quiet is NOT the new loud
Kiss my ass, I'm going out for a smoke, it's the last real vice I have left
Like Fee Waybill said back in '79, I was a punk before you
You can stand, you can follow, you can raise your fist and fight, just so long as you mean it
CHORUS:
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me
I can?t for the life of me figure it out
