30 Day Wonder Lyrics
I'm just wonderin'
Do you even remember when you first sold out?
The distance between the things you say
And your actions tell me everything
You never could so I’ll keep my grip and stay away
Why should I waste my time
When you can't tell wrong from right?
If you had your way I'd embrace convention
And lose my will to fight
Distractions keep me off my game
And I can't help but wonder if it was you
Would you still feel the fucking same?
Closed out shut down it doesn't matter to me
Because I've got the truth
Sick lies close ties your cheap talk ain’t enough
Because we've got the truth
I’ve got no time for narrow minds just playing the role
You played the role
Played out your self doubt is going to force you to fold
Because you got caught up playing the role
Do you even remember when you first sold out?
And your actions tell me everything
You never could so I’ll keep my grip and stay away
When you can't tell wrong from right?
If you had your way I'd embrace convention
And lose my will to fight
And I can't help but wonder if it was you
Would you still feel the fucking same?
Because I've got the truth
Sick lies close ties your cheap talk ain’t enough
Because we've got the truth
I’ve got no time for narrow minds just playing the role
You played the role
Played out your self doubt is going to force you to fold
Because you got caught up playing the role

i think the title refers to the first gulf war, which lasted about 30 days
this song was the one that got me into Good Riddance. it was on Tony Hawks Wasteland. sadly, just a few weeks before they broke up. bummer. i really like the Bass part.
Oh, and the quote at the beginning of the song is from the movie "The Rainmaker" based on the John Grisham novel.
