I hate the precedent
I present it in the ground myself?
Like a schmuck believed in him
Cause every suit has a story to tell.
Eventually we'll all evolve
Into a race of the (two words I cant figure out)
Vote a king amongst ourselves
(This line completely elludes me)

Chorus:
Believe in anything
I cant believe
Believe in anything
I cant believe.

Dethrone the precedent.
We'll pretend there is a vacant space
For the first time in my life
See a pattern in the (bleach and ___?)
Piss on the precedent
Swan dive into a jet black flash
(No idea)
Let it burn let it all come crash

Chorus.

This is your wake up song
This is your wake up song
This is your wake up song
This is your wake up song

Lyrics up.

To anyone paying attention: Please don't criticize the bad lyrics. Two reasons:

1) The large amount of distortion makes this hard
2) The leaked track listing is wrong. Anyone who can help me would be awesome. (in other words: In my Itunes this song is entitled Little Star... but obviously this is Piss on the precedent.)


Also: I think the first two times he does say president not precedent. But I'm not sure.

Guess everyone's got the messed up tracklisting too.
Mine's got this under Little Star, then he uses "Little star" on the one titled Waster.
I'm still trying to figure it out.

Hey there. I've been lurking for a while, getting tabs, reading the archives, etc. etc.
I wanted to look at the lyrics for this song and I noticed you missed a couple lines. I don't know the last line before the first chorus. But, to me, the one line sounds like, "Eventually we'll all evolve/ Into a race of Nanaimo smurfs". I know it sounds weird, but it sounds like something Max would say, like "The former, the latter, and all in between/ They were vanquished by Loki the Fiend" in We Killed It.

Also, at the end you have, "This is your wake up song" x4. I believe it's "This is a break up song" x4 instead :)

Just my two cents :)

Oh no worries :P
It's wierd (and sometimes frustrating) how Max's lyrics seem to make no sense at all! But I'm sure there's genius behind it.

This may sound wrong, and I am sorry if i am, but the first verse sounds something like this

I hate the president
I presented him the crown myself
Like a schmuck believed in him
Cause every suit has a story to tell.
Eventually we'll all evolve
into a race of the(some words)
Vote a king amongst ourselves
(some words) marked his turf

I'm hearing something closer to "into a race of benign (something)"

Thoughts?

Ok the presented the crown part is 100% right! And benign sounds kinda right and could make sense. Guess we got a group effort coming here haha.
