Crosscut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to beat down what is all inside
but you're always right to face a fight
when your government gives the order
let your agitation go
whatever flows your boat, attention to
'cause i'm a piece of shit and ill i know
that there is more inside of me
who can we get on your case when you have no class
who will be there when you're down and your life's a mess
broken glasses, smiling faces
sweaty masses all around me
and all my senses say
now you're mentioning
we agree it is good to be here
every single day i try
to beat down what is ill inside
but you're always right to face the fight
when your government gives the order
let the agitation go
whatever flows your boat, i'll teach you to
'cause i'm a piece of shit and ill i know
that there is more inside of me
who can we get on your case when you have no class
who will be there when you're down and your life's a mess
broken glasses, smiling faces
sweaty masses all around me
and all my senses say
now you're mentioning
we agree it is good to be here
broken glasses, smiling faces
sweaty masses all around me
and all my senses say
now you're mentioning
we agree it is good to be here
broken glasses, smiling faces
sweaty masses all around me
and all my senses say
now you're mentioning
we agree it is good to be here
broken glasses, smiling faces
sweaty masses all around me
and all my senses say
now you're mentioning
we agree it is good to be here
