Bright Eyes "Solid Jackson" lyrics

Solid Jackson

She says she's read too many fashion magazinesShe's forgotten what real love is likeAnd as the basement collects more kids off the streetThey smoke themselves to death waiting for the band to beginThey have been turning up there for an hour nowAnd I don't think I can stand another minute moreBut just then the first chord strums and the drums set inAnd I know what I have been waiting around for

Because no one's going home until the morning comesNo one's going to sleep until the sun comes upDid you hear those first two songs, they were fucking toughAnd the band is not going to stop until the cops show up

So hold your applause until the endAnd wait for the sadness to set inBecause that's the only feeling that's worth it

He say he's done with the pop music sceneThere's too many opinions and so few are worth a shitHe has got to learn to act a little more meanBecause the mean ones always end up with the record deals

And it is only when I'm angry that I feel completeWhen we're screaming at each other is when I am most happyI hang out with my friends and then I get depressedAnd I drink myself to sleep with any strength that's left

And I quit going to church a year agoAnd my teacher thinks that my faith is goneBut I can do without the eucharistCause I found God in a Solid Jackson song
