Longstay - Good Novices Lyrics

Good novices become great
When littered with expensive tastes
Ignore roots, blow it all

All the fights we never had
Learn, ignore, take a drag
You were young & I was too

We'll act like we had it bad
Sing some blues, perhaps a rag
Scribbling "It's me, not you"

So it must be true
If it was printed then it could not be skewed

So take back the words you said
Stolen from the books you read
Preacher, just let the choir sing

What if pride is what we lack?
We'll be humble just for laughs
And claim love as an excuse

Like made-up truth
It might blossom for a season
But it will meet its doom

If you give one, then I'll take two
Ignore debt, just pay what's due
Use credit kid, it's tried & true

Yeah that salesman became great
Delivered a cloud on a paper plate
While that boomerage stole it all

I thought I knew it all
Learned to walk before to crawl
Keep that matter private kid
It's neither your's nor his
