well its hard to believe in much
when youre in tampa bay 
and the coastline is drowning beneath all the sunshine 
and condos and cocaine 
and everyone around is just waiting round here to be dead 
from your rich grandma 
on down through the crackheads 

well i guess thats florida 
the wrong kind of wasteland for me 
and st petersburg is a city of ghosts and bad dreams 

but i dont go to college or california 
no i dont go to college or california

well im not a nihilist 
i just cant pledge allegiance to shit 
and that goes just the same for your gods and your empires 
and your scene politics 
and im not saying im not an asshole 
just that youre one too 
but theres 6 billion of us 
so im not saying nothing new 

straight edge never got me through
one single night this cold 
but you know how that goes 
or maybe you just really dont

but i dont go to college or california no i dont go to college or california
