This one says a lot of bad words and it's really pretty but it's actually the angriest song on the album. Apparently if you call me a f****t enough times in high school, I write a really mean song about you (fellas, is it gay to have friends?). Anyway, going out of your way to win people's approval is never worth it, just be kind and cool and set your boundaries, the rest will come naturally.
lyrics
It's the same thing over and over again
For a band of brothers, I hardly see us as friends
Do you even give a shit
Oh, do you even give a shit
Do I go fetch or throw it back to you
Do I try to cure the cancer or feed you what you spew
Do you even give a shit
Oh, do you even give a shit
You don't even have to take your aim
Just grab the gun and fire away
You don't even have to read the stars
If the sign to run is where you are
If you had the chance to read my mind
When you find your carcass would you be surprised
A fingerprinted impact oh so cruel
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
A little more like you
Thankful for repetition that gets so stale
A more efficient mob means more anthrax gets mailed
Am I so wrong to give a shit
Am I so wrong to give a shit
And it's not like one target's seen
No, the scope is extensive, unlike your empathy
Am I so wrong to give a shit
Oh, do you even give a shit
You don't even have to take your aim
Just grab the gun and fire away
You don't even have to read the stars
If the sign to run is where you are
If you had the chance to read my mind
When you find your carcass would you be surprised
A fingerprinted impact oh so cruel
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
Like you
Like you
You, you, you, you, you
You don't even have to take your aim
Just grab the gun and fire away
You don't even have to read the stars
If the sign to run is where you are
If you had the chance to read my mind
When you find your carcass would you be surprised
A fingerprinted impact oh so cruel
But if I say a word the crowd starts to boo
I reject respect for being cool
But can you smell the poison that you brew
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
A little more like you
