Lawrence Arms, The - These Pigs Seem To Be Getting The Best Of Me Lyrics
Sometimes I like to lay in bed and pretend like I died
Sometimes I stay like that til the day becomes night
Then I crank myself up and I set loose to fly
Like a bunch of restless bats finally coming to life.
And the places are the same but the faces are new
And I'm pressing my luck just to see if I can
And I'm betting my soul and I'm losing again.
Cuz these pigs seem to be getting the best of me.
These fucking pigs seem to be getting the best of me.
These fucking pigs seem to be getting the best of me.
With so much to love, sometimes you wind up diseased.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Oh!
Now I'm back in the sun and my fingers are scraping
And I can't work the clasp, I can't stop the shaking
And I'm making that face that only ever happens
When your life takes a shit in your pants and keeps crapping.
What happened to all of the "Oh, you'll be fines?"
What happened to having plenty of time?
What happened to my fucking body and mind?
I poisoned them dry, but I'd still like to try
To wake up tomorrow and to feel myself grow in the sun
To finally face all the work I still need to get done
To quit being such a pussy
And run back into the storm where my demons come from.
But these pigs seem to be getting the best of me.
These fucking pigs seem to be getting the best of me.
Fucking pigs seem to be getting the best of me.
With so much to love, sometimes you wind up diseased.
With so much to love, sometimes you wind up diseased.
With so much to love, sometimes you wind up diseased.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Oh!

Lawrence Arms, The These Pigs Seem To Be Getting The Best Of Me Comments
News From is a rad compliment to Metropole, don't mind that they are separate. Pre-ordered and glad to get this on colored wax. Fave punk band for sure, thanks for the upload!
I liked this alot more accoustic, but this is awesome!
no idea why the previous person's comment and my reply disappeared, but anyway
Yeah, see, I never thought anything of this back in its acoustic demo stages when it seemed certain to go on the album proper. Then I watched that video of Chris playing some guitar parts in the studio and loved them. Imagine (A) my disappointment when they didn't show up on Metropole, (B) my surprise when this ends up being one of the best things I've ever heard, and (C) my amazement when those guitars were for it! haha. end up wishing they put it on the LP after all so it'd get the recognition it deserves
Yeah i was so bummed when i saw that it wasnt on the album, and equally as stoked when i saw it being released alongside the album.
