The Lawrence Arms are a punk rock trio from Chicago, formed in 1999. The lineup consists of Brendan Kelly (vocals & bass), Chris McCaughan (vocals & guitar), and Neil Hennessy (drums). They have released seven full-length albums and are currently signed to Epitaph. Their music and lyrics exhibit their propensity for juxtaposing references from history and literature with American pop culture. The band takes its name from a building the members resided in (and were later evicted from) called the Lawrence Arms

FCG What's that sound In the parking lot someone's getting sick FCG But the beards just gather 'round to get another picture of his dick FAmG Around the corner there's a party with a million pretty girls F Black and blue, tattooed and bruised, weary with the world
CGFC This high life is running at full steam CGFC Come on everyone and live the high life with me AmFCF I'm not gonna stop until the devil falls asleep FGC Tonight is the march of the meek
C/G/C/F
CGFG I feel the Sparks on my teeth and in my veins CGFG Summers spent in basements, smoking in the rain FCG Number fifteen and Anthony, when will I see you again? FCG When is the next time we can raise our voices with our friends FAmG If I promise just to love you, promise me you'll always change F It's more than a blackout, or remembering names
