Let's get fucked up and die.
I am speaking figuratively of course.
Like the last time that I committed suicide.
"Social suicide."
Yeah, so I'm already dead,
On the inside but I can still pretend.
With my memories and photographs I have learned to love the lie.
I want to know what its like to be awkward and innocent, not belligerent.
I want to know how it feels to be useful and pertinent and have common sense,yeah.
Let me in, let me into the club 'cause I want to belong,
And I need to get strong.
And if memory serves I'm addicted to words.
And they're useless...in this department.
Let's get fucked up and die.
I'm riding hard on the last legs of every lie.
And the BMX bike of my life is about to explode.
I'm about to explode.
I'm a mess I'm a wreck.
I am perfect and I have learned to accept,
All my problems and shortcomings 'cause I'm so visceral, yet deeply inept.
I want to thank you for being a part of my.
"Forget me nots and marigolds and other things that don't get old."
Is it legal to do this?
I surely don't know.
It's the only way I have learned to express myself,
Through other peoples descriptions of life.
I'm afraid, I'm alone and entirely useless...in this department.
Let's get fucked up and die.
For the last time with feelings we'll try not to smile.
As we cover our heads and drink heavily into the nights that still shock and surprise.
I believe that I can overcome this and beat everything in the end.
But I choose to abuse for the time being.
Maybe I'll win. But for now I've decided to die.
Sister soldier you've been such a positive influence on my mental frame.
If I could ever repay you I would but I'm hard up for cash and my memory lacks
Initiative. Goddamn the liquor store's closed we were so close to scoring.
It hurts, it destroys 'til it kills. I am tired and hungry and totally useless...
In this department.

vocal ok, so i just re-read through the lyrics trying to pick out a part of the song that was my favorite to post on here....and i honestly cant- its all so good. i love how their lyrics aren't "simple." i mean, i hate songs where the lyrics sound really juevenille and lame. ALL of their lyrics are so deep and use words like: inept and beligerant. seriously, its lyrical genius. i love their music. and this song is SOOOO entirely amazing!!! one of the best ever made!

vocal i would say that MCS is similar to Shakespeare.
Their lyrics flow and have a different and deeper meaning as you dig into them.
The create the song with such expertise, such as Shakespeare did with iambic pentameter.
just thought it was an intersting comparison.
this is definately the best song on the CD. actually, it is one of the best songs of all time.
MCS got the idea for this song when they were touring with the All American Rejects. The AAR merch guy got incredibly drunk one night, stood up on the table and screamed, "Let's get fucked up and die!" They thought it was hilarious and used that phrase and general idea to form the song.
I literaly laughed out loud the first time I heard the first line of this song "Lets get fucked up and die, I'm speaking figuetively of course" I wasn't expecting it and I love it so much!

vocal I like how these lyrics motivate me to research big words and use them in my own songs... maybe thats just me but.... MCS is such a brilliant band and it sucks that theyre starting to go mainstreamish now..... some of us fans liked them beforehand and are now looking like posers
