Crane
Unfun CD,
Whack & Blite E.P. 7"
Takes a crane to pick me up.
I got a broken crown.
Life's a race that I can't run.
We're young yet.
Twenty-one in need of fun.
Could well be I'm full of shit.
I got a broken crown.
Twenty-one in need of fun.
A twenty gallon coffee cup.
A metal flag to move my brow.
Indelible's my color now.
Forever is the time it takes
to get me moving.
Can you wait?
I'll be along any year.
Progress slowed by heightened fear.
I went from king to clown.
Don't think I'm down.
A fool's got so much less to lose.
I see your tower's tall.
But tall ain't all.
You can rise above.
But it's that much further you must fall.
I curse the man who fired the gun.
Concrete socks and cement shoes.
The race was fixed, I'm gonna lose it.
There's danger in a desperate man.
Watch yourself I'm panicking.
I know my time is almost done.
It's now or never. Never comes.
Too young to regret it.
I see you play it safe.
If you had a dime I bet you wouldn't bet it.
Well, that's cool.
What's advice from a fool?
Just hear me out.
This is what I'm all about.
Growing old.
In a band to understand
a fucked up world.
Twenty-two it could be through.
Enlist now.
No one knows where it is going,
but it's up from down.
Saying never guarantees it.
Still, I'm not some posicreep.
Reality my soul do keep.
Living on the brighter side.
Living only half a life.
I keep my feet tied to the ground.
I let my head go wander 'round.
I went from king to clown.
Don't think I'm down.
A fool's got so much less to lose.
I see your tower's tall.
But tall ain't all.
You can rise above.
But it's that much further you must fall.

In a band to understand
How fucked up is the world? Pretty fucked.
Twenty-two it could be through.
Enlist now.
No one knows where it is going,
but it's up from down.

a fucked up world." The Unfun LP insert includes the line.
