Can I Borrow Some Ambition Lyrics

well i'm starving for attention
and i'm looking for perfection
and my only opposition
is my lack of motivation
i'm looking for an in
but i'm pissin' in the wind
and if i had a towel
i'm sure i'd throw it in
i'm fishing for a valid excuse
and when i think of one
i will put it to good use
am i a freight train or am i a caboose
too much time tied to the rails
fuck no
gotta find a reason to go
i'll never have nothing to show
can i borrow some ambition
or a box of ammunition
need a new direction
like a positive regression
i could use a new excuse
need an ace, but drew a duece
i will do the world a favor
and i'll never reproduce
i'm starving for attention
i'm looking for perfection
and my only opposition
is my lack of motivation
i'm looking for an in
but i'm pissin' in the wind

Guttermouth can be so clever sometimes! it's awesome...the world's is lacking some inteligence on music...and also, I think everone can easily relate to the lack of motivation and hopelessness...this song rocks.

Im not that big of a guttermouth fam neither. I like how the lyrics rhyme perfectly, but I dont really like the high pitched voice of the chrorus singer "fishin for a valid excuse", "fuck no, never have nothin to show" but the songs pretty good

Mark is the only singer on Guttermouth albums afaik, I do know for sure that he sings both the verse and chorus for this song.

As for what the song is actually about (yes I like it, obviously that's why I'm here in the first place)... It's an anthem for the talented slacker. Desiring the spotlight, but unwilling to show anything until it's impossibly perfect. So he just looks for excuse after excuse as to why he continues to fail at life. He's aware of his laziness, but doesn't change regardless.
