Doom Singer lyrics
by Jeff Rosenstock
[Verse 1]
I turn on the charm sometimes
Even when I wanna die, it's true
(A smile to hide behind to get me through)
Another sunny day
Practicing my happy face in my room
('Cause it's joy I feel, it’s joy I swear, it's not doom)
[Chorus]
I love to hear the people talking about
All the sh*t that they know nothing about
And writing all their little words
As if those words have any worth when the sun comes down
And burns us all alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
And during the wedding bells
Our friends and family stand and turn to welcome you
(It was then I realized you would die too)
Oh what a dark thought to have
But it didn't make me sad
It was then I realized how much I love (You)
I love to hear the people talking about
All the sh*t that they know nothing about
And writing all their little words
As if those words have any worth when the sun comes down
And burns us all alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
It's all for nothing and it's nothing new
So kiss your friends in the afternoon
You'll be having a blast
When the screen cuts to black
[Chorus]
I love to hear myself just ramble about
All the sh*t that I know nothing about
And writing down my little words
As if my words have any worth
When the sun comes down
When the waters rise
When the asteroids hit the city center
And the food runs out and leaves us helpless
And the killer bees and the World War 3's
WMD's, every day a new disease
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
