Lyrics: Ghost Mice. Andrew Jackson Jihad/Ghost Mice - Split. Survival.


[Originally by Andrew Jackson Jihad]

I broke my promise on a very sharp rock
and i was possessed by something quite unfriendly
and i was haunted by a demon in my sleep
and that's how i learned how to survive.
i gave a berr to a bum that was drinking
and i gave some sause to my bestest friends for cooking
and i gave water to all i thought were thirsty
and that's how i learned how to survive.
i gave some money to my bank for safe keeping
and i gave some money to my land lord, he was needing it
and i gave attention to the TV that was bleeding
and that's how i learned how to survive.
and "i don't care if monday's blue,
tuesday's grey and wednesday's too.
thursday i don't care about you.
it's friday i'm in love."
we just ripped off a song by the cure
but it's not the first band that we ripped off for sure.
i fed false information to the audience
and that's how i learned how to survive.
i give a thank you to my father for leaving me
and i give a finger to my stepfather for beating me
and i give props to myself for achieving.
gosh dang i'm glad that i survived.
i just handed you a giant load of gibberish
and i give love to a lover quite deserving of it
and i give thanks to all of you for listening to the story
of how we all learned how to survive
