lyrics

Smug
Prick
Smug
Prick

Casing twenty years on the scene
well heeled and young
stood off in the back

erasers come handy when alone
tempted to lift the curtain

knew the school
stood up straight
recount the bout without witness
hicks and fools
eyes on your plate
recount the bout without witness
hit your stride
shelve your crest
recount the bout without witness

in your head and home
thereʼs no pride in shy
fear of social rank
drives you to concoct
a new turn for you
serves (as) indemnity
a fresh coat of paint
makes you self contained

through steel sleet of your past
west egg yowls for truth

against the wall
you got your cred
must you take up every piece of pie
a land of garbage
cleaned up nice
must you take up every piece of pie
the other heads
built the rest
must you take up every piece of pie

every bit of progress gets thrown off the bus
underneath the guise of “pure realness”
keep your points in check like theyʼre estates
roll my eyes forever at your introductions
roll my eyes forever at your embellishments

kicked away the stones once on your path
saw you change a tune once through the tunnel
everything you feared got brushed to the side
cottage industry of high school castes
built upon cut lines of insecurity.

every word had a turn
every call was not made
every look had a take
every hand was not played
every promise had a price
every party had its flake

short hand never looked good on you
came up for air once or twice
arms bent back at commitment or excuse
there was a camera at every corner
