Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
We were spitting venom at most everyone we know If the damned gave us a roadmap then we'd know just where to go Now let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Oh, let it all fall off
Well, you were talking soda pop You talk it quite a lot The opinions that I do not give Are the opinions I ain't got
So let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Let it all fall off
Oh, well You were spitting venom at most everyone you know If you truly knew the gravity You'd know which way to go
Well, let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Oh, let it all fall off
My ears were pressing firmly right against your mouth to hear When you tried to spit the venom out, your words were not so clear
Now the drop
Hold on to what you need We've got a knack for fucked-up history Hold on to what you need We've got a knack for messed-up history Well, we went downtown and we sat in the rain Both looking one direction and waiting for a train And thought over, thought over I don't know you kept track I didn't know there was a score Well, it looks like you're the winner I ain't going to play no more It's over Game over
Well, we walked real stiff And our canes tapped the ground You hit me with yours and said "You're going to stare me down" It's over Oh, it's over
You can say what you want But don't act like you care It takes more than one person to decide what's fair It's over Think it over
You were spitting venom at most everyone you know If the damned gave you a roadmap then you'd know just where to go So we carry all the groceries in While hauling out the trash And if this doesn't make us motionless I do not know what can
So as to say "What a rotten thing to say! Such an awful thing to say! I didn't mean to bite you, sorry" What always did What always did What always had to slang So let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Oh, let it all fall off Let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Oh, let if all fall off
