lyrics

Caught some heat on the way to the desert
Ego tripping sideways lost and never remembered
Your father's table holds no place for a sinner
He blames me for your skin and your heart getting thinner, yah

Now your new friends are bad news and they act older
Kickin drum out in the canyon
Was supposed to be a part-time gig
But that's the story we couldn't tell the kids, love
Cause time is measured
It weighs the same as everything
You've ever saved or slaved

Oh to be honest babe
You know that you ain't got no soul to save
Oh keep it honest babe
You know that they can always make you pay

Now your new friends are bad news and they act older
Kickin heads out in the canyon
Was supposed to be a part-time gig
But that's the story we couldn't tell the kids, love
Cause time is measured
It weighs the same as everything
You've ever saved or slaved

Got a bag for your mind and its splendor
And this one horse town breaks its leg in December
Got this one here losing a fight to a fender
And the kid, he's got an attitude he'll make you remember

Now your bad friends are old news and they act colder
Kickin heads out in the canyon
Was supposed to be a part-time gig
But that's the story that we couldn't tell the kids, love
Cause time is measured
Without allocation
For the efforts of the fuckin' wages

While the songs follow pop structure for the sake of palatability and dance-ability, JTV seeks to subvert the inherent nature of pop aesthetics with bratty and iconoclastic lyrics. ... more
