Against Me! - Exhaustion Lyrics






There is no anger, just growing exhaustion and disgust.
No longer difference between.
A cynicism has been writing itself into my skin,
and I am sick to death of it.

So let it burn in the front yard,along with everything I own.
Piled up and sprayed down with gasoline,
Soak the embers in the broken heads of my
guitars as we dance around in circles, torch ourselves in effigy.
Everybody jump up live, love longer

So are you really listening?
I don't want any part of it.
I was worried and upset about what I'm gonna do without your genre acceptance.
Then it came to me:
You gotta turn your back and abandon it.

I'm taking aim at you; as a focus and recipient of judgment.
Well your politics are easy to remember,
especially when sung along to beats like this, so:
It's a dirty little secret about money?
It's a dirty little secret about poverty?
It's a dirty little secret about hunger?
Another little secret about war and brutality.

There is no romance, no glamour in reality.

What!?

There is no romance, no glamour in reality.

Against Me! Exhaustion Comments
  1. S.... O....

    This was posted on my birthday of the year that I had to give my daughter up after being sexually abused and fucking abandoned by my family members( half of them died and half of them fucking just left me) but you've always been my favorite band

  2. G.... ....

    I saw them at the Fest in October and it was an awesome show. They played through a couple songs off each album starting with the newest one. They even played Disco Before the Breakdown. Then they played Axl Rose in its entirety. The whole album, all the way through. The crowd was amazing, they were amazing. Andrew was too sick to play and they had Dustin, their first bassist, fill in. One of the greatest nights of my life. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see these guys play those songs. Fucking Fest.... what a time.

  3. S.... ....

    An eternal cavalier.

  4. R.... ....

    what;s a Cavalier Eternal i know its an album but what do you mean by you are one?

  5. E.... F....

    enuff with the sellout bullshit theyre are an amazing band people grow up and mature as humans and musicians this is the direction the band chooses to go if you dont like it dont listen they dont care what you think a real musician makes the music he wants. thats a direct tom gabel quote so stay 17 forever you haters the band is much better now than it ever was. tom never sold out he always made the music he wanted to if you dont like it thats your problem

  6. C.... H....

    @otterpand4 fair enough, sir. I would hate to be the two people who ruin the music with pointless bickering. I obviously have not been to every AM! show, so I cannot say they never had a bad show. I can only speak for the ones I've attended... which tilted the planet off it's axis.

  7. O.... P....

    @FallForGloryMusic say what you want, call me a scene kid, ill never forget that show as being fucking awful where as every show of theirs I went to before that was amazing. All that being said, the show I went to in Jan. was incredible.

  8. C.... H....

    @otterpand4 swing and a miss, scene kid. go ahead and scream 'sellout' with the rest of the crew, but their stage show in 2011 is the exact same as it was in 2004. Trust me, im a cavalier eternal.

  9. D.... H....

    This song definitely should have been on the Searching for former clarity album! I will always love this band!

  10. O.... P....

    @chrishuff88 LOL just no. their last show was the worst show of my life. It was NEVER like that before.

  11. T.... R....

    @katiedontcryxx41 Ed is Sexy and Clap, Clap are the same. Take Aim and Exhaustion are the same.

  12. l.... ....

    whyyyyy cant i get this on itunes dammit!!!

  13. a.... ....

    this is the only song i was excited about when searching was bout to come out and then when it wasn't on the record i was pissed, but it's still an ok record. i love their old shit though. and their old shows were way sick compared to how it is now.

  14. j.... ....

    this is probably one of there best songs......
