Why I Cant Draw
I found an old notebook filled up with pictures
Found my friends in hospital beds with facial stitches
We sat around the table drinking, hoping no one would ever die
A scribble of an elephant with
"Why I can't draw and why everyone is evil"
Written above it in faded black ink
Heated debate about the legal system
Let's have a rally, let's start a revolution
Set fire under our feet and do our best not to stamp it out
And all I can see through the rooftops and the chimneys is the top of a billboard that reads "love,"
And I think it's an advert for nasal spray technology but in my current state it doesn't matter much

And these things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
And darling you've befriended drop-outs and drifters, so why would you expect anything different?
This is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along...
It goes

Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da whoa, oh, oh, oh

And a woman with a face that slid right down to the top of her dress told me I'd succeed because I'd been touched by a goddess
If society's taught me anything it's that writing is much easier than speaking
That walking's best done in silence and rooftops are best left leaking
And as we boarded up the wall where our fists had fell the night before
I said, "I'm sorry that I shout, I'm not sorry but I don't put out
I'm sorry I don't understand things unless I find music in them."
And I know that you feel like I left you, but you left me without much of a choice
And I haven't learnt to draw but at least I never lost, never lost my voice

These things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
Darling you've befriended drop-outs and drifters, so why would you expect anything different?
This is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along...
One, two, three!
It goes

Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da oh, oh, oh, oh
Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
