Biography:
The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

C Em F C
We stumbled and stared at the carnival lights that lit up New York City,
F C G Am
From a rooftop in Brooklyn that was covered in bad graffiti.
C Em F C
And then I let a thousand splinters pierce right through my spoiled liver,
F C G
Or whatever that was left of it.

'Cause I've cursed my lonely memory with picture-perfect imagery.

Maybe I'm not dying I'm just living in decaying cities,
C Em F C
But I'm still healthy, I'm still fine, I've been spending all my time
