You, you try, You try to get by.
"You're never going to pull it off",
"You shouldn't even try",
"You're a wet cigarette",
"You're always second best",
But they're never going to give a shit
about anybody but theirselves.
You fight for them to realize;
There's more to life,
There's more to you,
There's more than meets the eye.
And when you're done,
The battle's been won.
You sit back, you smile
and this is what you hum, you hum:
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
1234 1234
You, you try, You try to get by.
"You're never going to pull it off",
"You shouldn't even try",
"You're a wet cigarette",
"You're always second best",
But they're never going to give a shit
about anybody but themselves.
You fight for them to realize;
There's more to life,
There's more to you,
There's more than meets the eye.
And when you're done,
The battle's been won.
You sit back, you smile
and this is what you hum, you hum:
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
1234 1234
The years go by,
The time it does fly.
Every single second is a moment in time
That passes oh, so quick
And it seems like nothing,
But when you're looking back,
Well, it amounts to everything.
I've got myself. I've got my friends.
I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends.
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone.
It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun.
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
1234 1234
Look around little brother, can you tell me what you see?
You're a big boy now, so take responsibility.
You never had it hard, but now it's getting tough,
So you whine, whine, whine and you say you've had enough.
You say i'm full of shit, That i'm a hypocrite
I shouldn't talk, when i can't take the advice that i give?
Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes:
the main difference here is that i try, try,
Woah oh oh oh oh oh

I shouldn't talk, when i can't take the advice that i give?
Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes:
the main difference here is that i try, try,") i dont know. thats just my interpretation.
iirc, they have some drama/tension between each other.
Yes they have drama/tension, but this song does not address that drama/tension.
If you want lyrics that DO address it, look to "A Moment of Silence/Violence" on the "Everything Goes Numb" album
You can't let them.
Life is short.
This one's pretty straightforward. A kid, down on his luck, everyone kinda shitting on him, and he's trying to prove to these people that he's someone of some worth to them.
Basically this song is a reality check that life is short and you've gotta make every moment count, because when you look back and see you spent your life trying to prove something to someone, you're gonna regret it.
As for what the interview at the end, i think when he is talking about the rerelease is quite apparent that he doesn't want "Catch 22" re-releasing nights, since after all that is the best c22 album simply because it was wrote by Tom. I love everything that they are doing and where their mindset is. their only concern is making quality music, if there were more bands like them this world would be a better place indeed
And the drums are insane
