Everyone be nice tonightnBecause I can't take another nightnof cigarettes and smoking gunsnResentments, you know i've got some nPound the pedal of my car nBack roads hidden under starsnThis isn't how it used to benWhat the hell is wrong with me?nnMaybe we grew up to fastnto save the souls our shadows castnSmell the chapstick on my lipsnFeel it with my fingertipsnIt registers into my headnBut all that was is surely deadnI had my chance to own this townnI really let myself downnnThis time is the last time I will follownthe late nights, and endless fights, and tomorrowsnAnd I'll lie where poets write of DecembernYou'll see, you'll look to me and remembernI won't do it againnnSo this will be the price we paynFor boys and girls, straights and gaysnExperiments and broken heartsnCome together, torn apartnIt's coming to a bitter closenlike cigarettes put out in snownShoot the apple off my headnTomorrow we'll be friends againnnThe flag unmoving at half mast nA field of green; a sea of ashnEveryone hail the stars and stripesnfor falling for the biggest lie (i've ever told)nEveryone, don't look at menI'm far from who I used to benone look in the mirror showsnYou've really let yourself gonnThis time is the last time I will follownthe late nights, and endless fights, and tomorrowsnAnd I'll lie where poets write of DecembernYou'll see, you'll look to me and remembernI won't do it againnnThis will be my final bownThe exit signs will lead you outnNot a soul between these wallsnFinally the curtain falls on you and InReminds that I've got to lienEveryone hail the stars and stripesnYou've fallen for the biggest lie i've ever told
