Since Matt's posted a link to this on his site and there are posts about it on the metro, I figure he's changed his mind and it's not private and secret any more so I can post it here:

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I have fallen in love with "The Bombmaker" - it's been on repeat at work all day. It's such a beautiful song in spite of it's subject matter.

i actually don't mind Chart, i like their sence of humor. They used to worship matt as a god back in LOTGA-AOB era, then they left him for Sam Roberts......pfft...fucking Sam roberts

and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you

now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start

i just saw the music videos for the first time ever. they're pretty funny.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown
