Do It Yourself (Or Don't) Lyrics

Call it catechism, cataclysm we ascended

Surviving only through only methods we invented

Following the bands that bombed the industry before us

Ethics evergreen like we're working for the florist

I'd rather have a label ignore us than compromise

Kick the nazi's out the show, we will not apologize

The scene is what we make it and we're bracing for the storm

Start a fire in the crowd, the kindle keeps our hearts warm

Start a band

Write a song

Years later we're on the grind

Work a job

Pay the bills

What the fucks a bottom line?

To some dudes feeling doomed with some underused potential

Solemn with the problems all identified as mental

Practice unit rental but the Mulligan is Hot

Yeah we say our rhymes loud and we say'm non-stop

To the block where we grew up, shout out to LU

Make our own tapes, represent the whole crew

Book us at the show, you know we'll go hard

Mix the upstrokes for the ska-vant garde

Do it Yourself or don't

You reap what grows from the seeds you sow

Let a record label go and throw the first stone

Hold on to your hats boys a storm is coming through

Its gonna shake the ground beneath us and distort the ocean view

Because the beach is only gorgeous if the sun embraces sand

But when the rain is overhead they scurry onto solid land

It would be too discouraging to paddle through the waves

Even if the sun behind the clouds is faintly in our gaze

But the legs grow weak when they only sit idle

Challenging endeavors for the muscle growth is vital

Even if the wave that pulls you under is a tidal

Avoiding it only gives a little power to the rival

I don't see the purpose in hiding behind the curtains

When it's certain that the glass that sits behind them isn't perfect

It can shatter any second now

We don't know if it's going to

The mind is just house but Windows break when bricks are thrown at you

Shrapnel to the eyes of a decent man in position is the side affect of humans trying to rob him of his vision

So we hold fast to what we think we need to do

Feeling what is best and knowing we don't have a clue

Walking on our feet but never fitting in the shoe

Walking on our feet but never fitting in the shoe
