Cover art for Brand New Game lyrics by Elliott Smith

As much as I hate it when people say it on here, I think at least the first verse has something to do with, you guessed, it, drugs: Running down the alley with an hour you bought From a man with no last name Like an idiot animal Too stupid to shame

But I think its about wanting to be happy and move on from your depression (Brand New Game) but you just can't. No matter how hard you try you still go back to it. And nothing's that's got it all From gazing over to where hope sleeps Artificially small Like a beast too tame

Basically saying its not worth even trying, since its not what you think it should be.

But then thats just my interpretation. Could be anything. All I know, this song is extremely catchy. I find myself humming it in class often.
