I found myself in a brand new scene
Where the blood runs thick, but the water runs clean
Use our talent and turn a shitty day
Into a shitty song and let the critics relate
You stole my drummer and took my bassist
Elusive truth in the look on my face says
We captured the perfect stack
Gotten totally smashed and nailed a hip-hop track
You see this is the best way that I've found
Of now and again
Releasing my soul and making myself feel whole again
We're sick with something I can never explain
Oh we'll make it 'cause we love it again and again
Even though we never were that satisfied
So you really think it's a waste of my time
To take everyday things, to add a beat and a rhyme
Did you have something better in mind?
Did you think your youth was less wasted than mine?
When this is the best way that I've found
Of now and again
Releasing my soul and making myself feel whole again
We're sick with something I can never explain
Oh we'll make it 'cause we love it again and again
Even though we never were that satisfied
This is the pledge of the talented few
There are more of us than there are of you
We're just the ones who are in this room
Singing songs from a guy who is just like you
We churn out songs and we fight to keep them free
'Til the breadline taunts us with royalties
True to our art and the passion inside
We'll hand it to you on the day that we die
I only wanted harmonies
I'm not concerned with legacies
I only wanted harmonies
I'm not concerned with legacies
Because this is the best way that I've found
Of now and again
Releasing my soul and making myself feel whole again
We're sick with something I can never explain
Oh we'll make it 'cause we love it again and again
Even though we never were that satisfied
At least we tried
