Screeching Weasel - Hanging Around lyrics

rate me

I walked around alone last night

and tried to look at people like I did back then

I kinda wanted to just hang out

remind myself what it was all about

about everything I thought

I shattered and left laying there

that didn't matter

every now and then comes back to my eyes

moving in a new direction

I know if you're not getting better

you're getting worse but

watching everybody else it's getting harder to remind myself

of what I've learned relying on another lame religion

to validate our arrogant traditions

and any day we're gonna wonder why

we've been left behind

this girl came up to me and said

I think my teacher used to go to school with you

and she was right and if for just a second I take off these colored glasses

I can see it might just be a waste of time

and I don't know everyday that passes

it gets easier to walk off and it seems alright

and everyday another person I used to call my friend

just dissapears from sight

now I see that I'm all alone

just like I always was from the beginning

and I think maybe that's the reason I'm not hanging around

I see your face and wonder where you'll be five years from now

and what it really means to you inside

I can't explain the reasons why I can't hang out and bide my time

it just keeps going on and on and on and on and on and I don't know
