Lyrics for The Futile

Shit! Nothing makes sense So I won't think about it I'll go with the ignorance Eat, sleep, fuck and flee In four words, that's me I am full of indifference What do the old people teach us but how to die? (Die!) die (die!) What do those hissy fits teach you except how to cry, pussy, cry? Yeah, the futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful Futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful Futile, the futile, the futile, so, futile, the futile, the Taste, I have no taste I don't like these tiny portions with your artful abortions of sound Sealed with a kiss, slathered in the sauce sarcastic So go choke on your irony What do the old people teach us but how to die? (Die!) die (die!) die What do your hissy fits teach you except how to cry, pussy, cry? Yeah, the futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful Futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful Futile, the futile, the futile, so I'm eating rat poison for dinner Pull the cord from the phone, I am dining alone Tonight, rat poison for dinner Pull the cord from the phone, I am dining alone So goodnight Love! I shall not love Yet I'll still sing about it Hope it covers the ocean in slime The drama and drool I'm leaking the blood of a fool (I'm full of it, I'm full of it, I'm full!) Rat poison for dinner Pull the cord from the phone, I am dining alone Tonight, rat poison for dinner Pull the cord from the phone, I am dining alone Tonight Oh, I am dining alone tonight Tonight, tonight Oh yeah
