gear isn't expensive

i've held onto this tune for weeks

until i could say that i wrote 24 more songs

than the four of us have written all year long

i should keep my opinions to myself

but i've bitten my tongue to shreds

trying to think of new things to say

when people ask what the deal is

the truth is i don't know

rehearsing in my room all alone

but i tend to say

that my van should have three times the mileage

that buying gear isn't expensive

or that law school seems like a better plan

that we're growing in new directions

or that you've got some work ethic to spare

so you should spare some work for your band instead

the truth is i don't know

rehearsing in my room alone

but i'll get the word on the streets

just think how seth's going to be oh-so-disapointed

we've waited all this time

and i'd do anything for you guys

but you should have seen the warning signs

it's hurting my hand to write these lines

because i think that this is it
