Not the Way - Cass McCombs

Contempt for all

A vocabulary vow

Sifting ash

Can’t see in from out

First to know, quick to criticize

Blow by blow, cutting boxer eyes

That’s not the way…

That’s not the way to make…

That’s not the way to make… friends

Contempt for love

And everything you’ve drowned

I know these words can be turned around

I know you think

Politeness is what I need

Well I don’t, but it might as well have been

That’s not the way…

That’s not the way to make…

That’s not the way to make… friends

That’s not the way…

That’s not the way to make…

That’s not the way to make… friends
