Familiarity Breeds Contempt - The Chills

You don’t need to repeat it, repeat it

I hared it the first time time time

Well, you won’t stop by

And tell me what the trouble is

I couldn’t care less, ha ha, but my double does

And he told me we’re both superseded

So why not drop by, burst my bubble for me

So simple to be cynical

Respond to things with ease

Once an attitudes selected

Then behavior is a breeze

They think they’ve got it covered

But they’ve got it all wrong

Hard people make hard times far worse

Not the reverse

It’s the contemporary trap

They want to tell you where it’s at

When the past is thought irrelevant

Our destiny’s black

For they’ve limited themselves

To an urbanite perspective

And the build-up, rear-down

Press-gang acid attack

Familiarity breeds contempt

And suppresses attempts

Familiarity breeds contempt

Sour seeds grown into stifling creepers

Bitterness feeds on a drive alive

And now my heart bleeds

Familiarity breeds contempt

And a row of resentments

Familiarity breeds contempt

And I’m not exempt
