Name: Sand in My Shoes
Duration: P00H02M48S
Description: I wrote it in April, originally for my band at the time, Furious Napkins. We never really played it though. I wanted it to sound like NOFX, I think. When I recorded it, it felt like I was playing a NOFX song, but trying to sing it with a Joe Strummer voice. This was the time I used the word "apathy" in like every song.

lyrics

Sand in My Shoes

Verse 1

I don't wanna be here
In a world of fear
It's so unfair
And no one cares
Look at society
Looking down on me
But what do they see?
Just apathy!

Pre-Chorus

I'm gonna make the move for a new generation
But I am lazy and ain't got no patience
Sick of waiting for the world to be free!
Sick of losing my integrity!

Chorus

You can't stop me, with the world on top of me
I'll get up faster than you!
I'll get up faster than you!
This is my nightmare, but I don't care
Cuz you have been there too
You have been there too!

Verse 2

Don't want no one to harm me
Don't wanna join the army
Why can't you show me?
How it should be!

I don't want you
to tell me what to do
Cuz I want something new
Not sand in my shoes!

Bridge

Blood in your mouth
That's what life is about
Strangling for air
with no time to spare
Gun in your hand
No one will understand
Bullet through your head
You'll soon be dead!!!
