Don’t start a band, unless you like spending time in a hot van (7 hours to get there, 14 dollars at door) / Don’t
start a band, you oughta invest in your future (your student loans won’t pay themselves, you should pick up more hours) / and
every day I feel like a failure, sit alone at home watching Sailor Moon DVD sets / and everything just fills me with envy, always feel
like my world is ending, every moment of every day
don’t start a band, unless you like picking fights with your best friends (“I wish you’d start playing sober,” “why don’t you ever shut
up?”) / don’t start a band, you didn’t go to college for nothing (this run of records costs more than my car, these kids aren’t buying
our t-shirts) / and every night I feel like a failure, drink alone and curse like a sailor, I shouldn’t drink so much / and I think that this
tour just might kill, drinking every night doesn’t thrill me, like it did in college
