It Ceases to Be “Whining” if You’re Still “sh*tting Blood” lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sing the f*cking songs you told the world to sing
Sing it right unless you want to fail
Listen back and punch the sh*t that we don't like
You can't do it right in just one take

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Because you aren't good enough
You were never good enough to sing your own songs oh so perfect

[Verse 2]
If you f*ck this up you f*ck the record deal
And respect of all our famous friends
Drift too far and it is inaccessible
Do it right, we worked as hard as you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we didn't come this far
For you to f*ck this up and then just f*ck our whole damn lives

[Chorus 1]
So write some songs with lots of hooks
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Let's start a band
This is all that you can do
So write some songs with lots of hooks
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Let's start a band
This is all that you can do

[Verse 3]
So cut the cookie, five sharp points to make a star
Cut the corners, get the biggest tours
Traffic violations mean bad credit now
Twenty triple zeroes in the hole

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And it wouldn't be so bad
If we crashed the f*cking van and watched our f*cking debt go up in flames
You know it wouldn't be so bad if we just threw up our hands
Instead of feeding something I did not want to create
Your underground is a mistake

[Chorus 2]
So write a song without a hook
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Not to start a band
We've got nothing else to do

Let's write a song without a hook
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Not for a man
Who runs a f*cking focus group
So write a song without a hook
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Not for a man
Who runs a f*cking focus group

So write a song without a hook
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Not to impress
The band you opened up for yesterday
