The Ironic Lyrics Thread

[DESPO424]

Just find your favorite ironic lyric from a John Bush song and post it here. I'll start.

"Two steps forward
One hundred steps back
We're going the wrong way
It's backwards, it's backwards
Cuffed and branded
I can't stand it"

Riding Shotgun

 

[LouieFatterson]

I tear through all this wreckage you left when you dropped the bomb
Is there something worth saying, or do I act like nothing's wrong
The lesser of two evils gives me nothing at all

Harms Way

 

[aliasp]

Goddamn nowhere place to be.
Dying deep inside of me.
Always standing on the inside looking out!
Can't break a heart so full of pride.

Inside Out

 

[GregadetH]

Who, what, where, when, why,
How many ways can you lie
How many ways can you try
How many ways can you die
What am I gonna do
I can't look at you
Don't have a clue
You're no hypocrite

-HyProGlo

I never should've trusted
I never should've trusted
I'm sickened and disgusted
I never should've trusted
What happened to me?

Back in the days when promises were made
Equality for all
You go by the word from the man who gives it
Never expecting a fall...
Transparent in critical moments
You drop me when your hands aren't full
You call yourself my closest friend
Then you make yourself invisible

-Invisible

 

[Deege]

All fucking awesome.
I never noticed the "lesser of two evils" line from Harm's Way.

 

[Dredd74]

Your schism, my distress
Your failure is my success
Squeezed out, kept me down
What goes around comes around
I can wait you out
Patience is my virtue
Call it payback, call it proper grounds
What goes around always comes around, always comes around

Room For One More

"Bastard son, you're saving grace. Left alone, I found my place. I find love in what I steal. You should have let me rest in Potter's Field"
-Potter's Field-
"The only thing that's touched my sould, ever in my life, is love. Tangible and physical. Visible, unlike your God above"
-Think About an End-
among others.....

nobody knows anything

 

[TD]

"Best friend I never had"
"It doesn't seem to matter."

NOTHING

 

[Bass Fellow]

Had to listen to Stomp today. I'm sure a daily dosage would be healthy but today that cd was like a long lost friend.

 

[Ragamuffin]

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

 

[johnnieCzech]

Angels in my heart, devils in my eyes.

 

[Crabmeat]

dollars in my eyes
