with some room to fill
and an hour to kill
swell up with empty noise
to fit these thoughts into bars
oh god i really hate guitars
from the burning bridge
turn it up a smidge
clipped and rough at the edge
to try to rock with the stars
oh god i really hate guitars
they're always so cheesy
like Santana or something
got me feeling Smooth-brained
it really hurts my head
and if i'm being honest
all the anachronistic, narcissistic rockstars
all seem like me
(oh wait, anyway...)
with some dime to spare
unearned pride to pair
this band could be your whole life
come on and jump in my car
oh god i really hate guitars
middle class and white
at the power and light
that stage could be your whole cage
get out and run very far
oh god i really hate guitars
they're always sounding so crunchy
like Nirvana or something
i'm feeling real big-brained
it really hurts my head
and if i'm being honest
all these anachronistic, narcissistic rockstars
they're all exactly like me
(oh no!)
if i could just shut up and sit here silent in the moment
without a thousand screaming chords to hide my insecurities
and all this damage left behind
it is not cool, it is not fine
do better, be better
just try
(well, anyway...)
from the burning bridge
turn it up smidge
fortunes spent on broke strings
and callous formed on the scars
oh god i really hate guitars
