lyrics

Listen up boys, the end is here
Cause I'm tired of gettin' paid in experience and beer
Oh man
Goddamn, yeah, the band is breakin' up

Time to cut that hair, cover up them tattoos
Update the resume, maybe lay off the booze
Oh no
What we all really need are some goddamned jobs

Drink up boys, this here's the last call
Time to settle up this tab once and for all
And ya know
Still got 12 bucks in the band bank account

I don't know if I'll ever be a
Functioning member of society but
No no man the band is breakin' up

My therapist told me to quit on these dreams
She's also got issues with the lyrics I sing
So she
Doubled up my doses so I'm thinkin' more clearly

So I'll take my sad songs, you take your anxious licks
Tell the ADHD drummer to remember them sticks
Oh yeah
My mom said the church wants its PA back

I don't know if I'll ever be a
Psychiatrically stable version of me but
At least for now yeah
The band is breakin' up

We had good times
Loadin' in and out of indie bar dives
And we were all so sure
That our rock 'n roll was special and pure

But now my shrink says it's time split up
My dad said that I gotta grow up
So goddamn, oh man, the band's breakin' up

Let's break up boys

And as for this here last recorded LP
Maybe we could put it out for posthumous release
And some kids in the scene might pick it up if it's cheap

And honestly boys, I loved you all
We raged against machines and spray painted the walls
With our hearts
Goddamn, yeah, the band is breakin' up
