Agency Lyrics

We're at the 6th fret, capo'd, in the key of F

I just let go my last cares

I'll be leaving here while everyone just

stands and stares

Didn't it used to be so different

I thought it was different

I thought it was different

This whole world hates itself

I guess that I can relate

What to do when they're all after you in no

Time waits for no man

We're gonna go mad

I just need to get away right away

I don't want nobody to call my own

I've had everybody just try to own me

And I'm only a friend

You can't own me

You can't

own yourself

You've no agency

To speak of as well

yeah I know you wanted something from me

But you're not honest enough with yourself to admit anything

So you lie, you lie like a rug

Whose mother never gave him a hug

Your jury is hung just like you

Oh, what a horrible thing to do

To yourself

It's like every time you go for love

It's an act of self-hatred In the bedroom

It's a war ground And it's wet and will soon mold

Growing up the walls

You look kinda old

What do you wanna do

Own yourself Just project it onto everyone else

I'm not a psyop a dronebot

I'm real I know you can feel that

Oh, I bet it's hard

To just be an NPC

Even though you could be real

You can't keep it real

Those old ideals and narratives

That spin around and around

In your insane meth-filled brain

Holes in the same

That just keep running out

You're a time bomb

A ticking time bomb

Shout out to my friend Tim Armstrong

I don't know what's going on sometimes

Oh, persecution and I'm in the sea

The Mersey in me's on the merseyside

I never understood that, guys

British people say the darndest things

They usually sound pretty gay

What can I say?

At least they like to be mocked

Unlike you, you're a cop

And you won't ever stop

And it's only cause you suck

That's the only reason I can deduce
