Barfruit Blues

Lyrics

Kids with broken hearts, kids with broken bones
 Kids with kidney stones giving birth to bloody stereos
 Systems are all dripping wet with the gristle piss and the swizzlesticks
 Mary got a bloody nose from sniffing margarita mix
 She licked her lower lip and then she kissed that Hallelujah chick
 She came off kind of spicy but she tasted like those pickle chips
 Thought she was a dancer but her steps they made the records skip
 She came off kind of crunchy but she went down like a chicken strip
 Dripping wet with the special sauce
 She had a confident smile and a nervous cough
 And we got off
 She said, "It's good to see you back in a bar band, baby."
 I said, "It's great to see you're still in the bars."
 She said, "It's good to see you back in a bar band, baby."
 I said, "It's great to see you're still in the bars."
 Went down with a tallboy can and he woke up in a cargo van
 Went down with the girls gone wild and he woke up with a middle man
 Went down with like fourteen bucks and woke up with like sixteen grand
 Went down with some crust punk junk and woke up with a straight edge band
 That's not how he planned it
 Holly can't speak, she don't feel all that sweet
 About the places she sometimes has to go to get some sleep
 She said "I'm sorry, people think I'm pretty."
 These clever kids are killing me
 For one they ain't that clever
 Number two, it really sucks when you get stuck here with these Trevors
 This was supposed to be a party
 Half the crowd is calling out for "Born To Run"
 The other half is calling out for "Born To Lose"
 Baby, we were born to choose
 We got the last call bar band really, really, really big decision blues
 We were born to bruise
 We were born to bruise
 We were born to bruise
