lyrics

(A Em D A
A Em D Dm)

I’m singin’ something pretentious
So damn self-important
Singin’ somethin’ self-absorbed
And I’m singin’ it badly too
I’m singing something so pretentious
That you’d better close your ears
Lest they self-destruct and
Blow apart your face

I’m singin’ angst, angst,
Angst angst angst
(Existential crisis) / (Where do I find meaning?)
Singin’ boo, boo
Fuckin’ hoo
(Where do I call home?) / (Life is so damn hard)

Don’t sing about politics or nothin’
No HIV slash AIDS
Not homelessness or orphans
Or capitalistic flaws
I’m singin’ songs about death
And college and dogs
And Washington, DC
Did I mention I’m from DC?

I’m singin’ ha! Ha! Self-deprecation
Laugh at how much this song sucks
But if you don’t that’s also cool
It’s really not that funny
Singin’ ho! Ho!, "Ain’t I meta?
I wrote a song about itself!"
A song of infinite regression,
Ceci n’est pas une song
