Album A Positive Rage

Lyrics

He was drawn-up in the dark up in
Penetration
Park He says he's got your medication
She was sitting on the edges of his vision trying to start a revolution
But he's done with all the parties, he's covered in contusions
Your laugh leaves laugh lines, your love leaves bright bruises
She said she was cruising but she came back all proud and out of focus with a cool car crankin'
Krokus. Guys go for looks, girls go for status
There are so many nights where this is just how it happens
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
He was dreadlocked in the dorms in the
Colorado corn
He says he's got your vegetation
She was sitting on the edge of the bed smoking trying to reach emancipation
And he's done with
DVDs, he's fully entertained
He's bleaching out the blood stains, he's got diamonds in the drain
She said that she was coming but she mostly just made hard fast noises
It kind of sounded like
The Locust
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
There are so many nights where this is just how it happens
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
It was song number three on
John's last
CD, "I'm going to make it through this year if it kills me"
And it almost killed me
And song number four on that first
D4, you want the scars but you don't want the war
That's just hardcore
These kids are clever to the core
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
