The bartender says, "Kid, one day you'll get famous, |
|
Which is lucky, 'cause honey I hate to say it, |
|
You ain't much of a waitress, even on a day shift, |
|
Clumsy as you are, it's like we're paying you to break dishes." |
|
Now the records, break light plates, |
|
Rocking stages state to state. |
|
Getting bigger like every day, |
|
And they say the game's changing. |
|
Doomtree stay sharp, razor blade up. |
|
But, 'member when we didn't have a dime to stop on, |
|
All night trying to write a decent pop song, |
|
Dot net 'cause somebody already had the dot com, |
|
Get in, let's go, go 'head, come on. |
|
Boys in the basement, beats through a bass amp, |
|
Papers on the breaks we're all on the radar now, |
|
I guess, digging in and gaining ground, |
|
No matter where we go, I do believe we're all related now. |
|
There's no love like crew, |
|
And that's true, 'cause to me, |
|
My friends and my family, |
|
My clan is Doomtree. |
|
(My people, my partners, my plan is Doomtree.) |
|
It's been a long walk and it's a steep hill. |
|
No time for small talk, no place for weak wills. |
|
You mind your business and you try to stay real. |
|
Half Dorothy Parker, half April O'Neal. |
|
This rock rolls over light on the horizon. |
|
Real slow strobe, night, day, and night again. |
|
No time now to wonder 'bout what might have been, |
|
Eyes on the prize, no matter what the critics think. |
|
What's got nine lives, lands on its feet? |
|
The Doomtree franchise, rep wings and teeth. |
|
If the hinges creak, then break the door down. |
|
All I need is a beat, a break of four count. |
|
There's no love like crew, |
|
And that's true, 'cause to me, |
|
My friends and my family, |
|
My clan is Doomtree. |
|
(My people, my partners, my plan is Doomtree.) |
|
Maybe ain't a lot, but it's an honest wage, |
|
And what we've got is what we've made. |
