Short cut to a quick buck is working all the time

Renting out your mind

And saving every dime

Because when ten of those combine

They cross a sacred line

And go from pocket change

To a gold mine

She said she’d be down to hangout

With her parents out of town she was hoping I’m around

For a party at her vacant place

I said I’d come;

showed up and felt out of place

So I headed home

That’s when she text my phone and ask me where

I was and when I said I was gone

She broke my spine

And in that pain

I realized that every dime I’d ever saved wasn’t worth anything

What’s the drive in being alive

When you don’t know who you are?

What’s the fun in getting drunk

If you can’t take it too far

Yeah my friends are saying

I’ve been wasting all my weekends contemplating

If it’s me or the booze that really gets wasted

I don’t even taste it

When I’m throwing back shots as if its a race then

Quickly chase them

Without a mouth I’m so down

My hometown only makes me feel alone

But just when I

Hometown girls are my greatest fear

So in a couple days I’ll be off to college for another year

Thinkin', I’m gettin' away by hitting the road

Somehow she make it to all of my shows now where can I go

Girl it’s a simple a matter

Put your painted finger on my tongue

So I can taste the lacquer

And relive each door that you have touched

And then she split my lips

And for three whole days

I tried to speak but everyone agreed

They couldn’t hear a word I’d say

What’s the drive in being alive

When you don’t know who you are?

What’s the fun in getting drunk

If you can’t take it too far

I’m singing oh I don’t know

Take me anywhere but home

Without a mouth I’m so down

But my hometown only makes me feel alone

Then just when I think I’m in the clear

She hook her hair behind her ears and says I’m

Going down

She said baby it’s okay to feel

The way you do if you keep it to yourself

Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

But it sure ain’t no fun with no teeth and no tongue

Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

But it sure ain’t no fun with no teeth and no tongue

Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

I say life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

I say life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

Without a mouth I’m so down

My hometown only makes me feel alone

Then just when I think I’m in the clear

She hook her hair behind her ears

Says babe are you aware

Of who I am
