This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
He won't let me scream on him
I'd say "Off the pigs!" but I'm scared of it
But give me a book
And I'll read the shit out of it
Give me a book
And I'll feel tough and cut some skin.
He keeps saying "Maralist skill"
I'm just trying to pay the bills
But give me a book
And I'll read the shit out of it
Give me a book
And I'll feel tough and cut some skin.
It was only true when I read it to you
Now you think it's true, cause you heard it too
I think we'll wear a disguise and we won't compromise
Read about me when I die
Theory is famous, trust us.
And the racket is sweet.
Zizek sells me clothes from him
I think the catalogue is way too thin
But give me a book
And I'll read the shit out of it
Give me a book
And I'll feel tough and cut some skin.
It was only true when I read it to you
Now you think it's true, cause you heard it too
I think we'll wear a disguise and we won't compromise
Read about me when I die
Theory is famous, trust us.
I'd say "Off the pigs!" but I'm scared of it
But give me a book
And I'll read the shit out of it
Give me a book
And I'll feel tough and cut some skin.
He keeps saying "Maralist skill"
I'm just trying to pay the bills
But give me a book
And I'll read the shit out of it
Give me a book
And I'll feel tough and cut some skin.
It was only true when I read it to you
Now you think it's true, cause you heard it too
I think we'll wear a disguise and we won't compromise

And the racket is sweet.

I think the catalogue is way too thin
But give me a book
And I'll read the shit out of it
Give me a book
And I'll feel tough and cut some skin.
It was only true when I read it to you
Now you think it's true, cause you heard it too
I think we'll wear a disguise and we won't compromise
Read about me when I die
Theory is famous, trust us.
