Sounds Familiar Lyrics

Lyric discussion by The Smell Of Rain 

Cover art for Sounds Familiar lyrics by Weakerthans, The

This was the first WeakerThans song I ever heard and my favorite, it was the first song I ever memorized the words and guitar to, even before my own works. It was also the first and only song I ever got in trouble for, for not ceasing singing it to a teacher as a rebuttal to a statement she made in class. She kept interupting me telling me to stop, and refused and kept on singing, and I proved her wrong, so I got sent down to the office.

God I love this song!!!

"but you must know the same games that we played in dirt, in dusty school yards has found a higher pitch and broader scale than we feared possible, and someone must be picked last, and one must bruise and one must fail." - about war maybe, i think so.
