Passion Pit
Lyricist: Michael Angelakos Composer: Michael Angelakos
Sorry I couldn't be there
I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw
you'd have said it was the final straw
That my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore
But there's no no no no no
easy way to tell inside the things you know
and run run run run run
when they say they think they know
exactly so
It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay
Well it's the numbers it's the numbers we don't stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another song and dance
it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
still I'm the only one who seems to care.
It's funny being funny
makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds casting shadows below
I could live with so many burdens
I take all your hope and yearning
But there's nowhere, hide and take me
from their petty little woes
I used to glow glow glow glow glow
Once I had a life to show
A love they know
They're slow slow slow slow slow
so slow that they never know
Where I go
It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay
Well it's the numbers it's the numbers we don't stand a chance
So long as their around you're just another soul in a bed
it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
still I'm the only one who seems to care.
I know that it's always something
I'm just working with what I've been given
It's not my fault I'm happy
Don't call me crazy I'm happy
It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay
Well it's the numbers it's the numbers we don't stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another soul in a bed
it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
still I'm the only one who seems to care.
