Full Lyrics: 1234 1234 - streetlight manifesto

you

you try

you try to get by

you're never going to pull it off

you shouldn't even try. you're a wet cigarette

you're always second best

they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. so you fight for them to realize

there's more to life

there's more to you

there's more than meets the eye. and when you're done

the battle's been won

you sit back

you smile

and this is what you hum

you hum

whoa

oh. 12341234

you

you try

you try to get by

you're never going to pull it off

you shouldn't even try. you're a wet cigarette

you're always second best

they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. you fight for them to realize

there's more to life

there's more to you

there's more than meets the eye. and when you're done

the battle's been won

you sit back

you smile

and this is what you hum

you hum

whoa

oh. 12341234

go by

the time it does fly

every single second is a moment in time

that passes oh so quick

and it seems like nothing

but when you're looking back

well it amounts to everything

i've got myself

i've got my friends

i've got my little family

but that's not where it ends

this one goes out to you

it goes out to everyone

it's in the name of honesty because life has just begun. whoa

whoa

oh. 12341234

look around little brother can you tell me what you see?

you're a big boy now

so take responsibility

you never had it hard

but now it's getting tough

so you and you say you've had enough. you say i'm full of shit

that i'm a hypocrite

i shouldn't talk when i can't take the advice that i give

well maybe you're right

but open your eyes: the main difference here is that i

whoa

oh. whoa

whoa

oh. 12341234

whoa

oh. whoa

whoa

oh. 1234

1: please describe the experience of making the new album. making the record was not unlike chipping out each piece. 2: what took so long to make it?

did it take long? if so it's because be are very busy. bands make almost nothing from record sales

so we were out touring and whoring in order to pay rent. plus some other reasons which we are keeping quiet. wink. we lie a lot. 3: what is the record exactly

as it's called keasbey nights

but no-one knows yet what the record contains. it's keasbey nights. we wanted to get it right for once. plus it helps me sleep at night knowing blood sweat and tears are poured into and album as opposed

to paying 13 bucks for a record they only put a flashy new cover on it. this release is a pre-emptive strike

i guess. whatever you want to call it

it will piss people off. and that

at the end of the day

is all that really matters. this confuses me

aren't they paying 13 bucks for a record they already own?

because that is what i thought was happening

sounds like i have it wrong?

yep you've got it wrong. wink. if there's one thing i can't stand it's

when a cd is re-released untouched sonically

with a new cover

and maybe a live video and kids are tricked into buying this new edition

of something they already have. i was upset when i was told the guys were going to do this with keasbey

so i offered to re-record it

because i've always thought it sounded like pure garbage sound-wise. plus the budgets we get are laughable particularly for a band with 7 musicians to record

so we used some of our own money and took our time with this one. i'll tell you right now

we have no intent of hiding our intentions

we wanted to prevent the re-release of keasbey untouched as well

as to get the record to sound how it should have sounded originally. for that we sacrificed months of our time

and our money

and now we feel what we have is worth paying for. although

truth be told

i don't care if a single record is sold as it is

indeed

old music and kids have a right to know what it is

and to decide whether or not they'll pay for it. do i think it's worth 13 dollars? yes

very much so

but that's my opinion. what other people decide

that's their own opinion. we're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. we're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. we're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. we're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. we're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. we're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. wow. okay. first time i have heard it said that this is the same songs. every time you were asked

you skirt that issue. whatever you want to call it

we will piss people off. and that

at the end of the day

is all that really matters. as my good friend roley says

you are indeed a cassette

and unfortunately just don't get it. peace out bitches.
