lyrics

Always saw the sense in service; never aim to sell yourself.
Fight fair with obligation – not haste or compromise.
The money’s gone; we’re gonna spend through the red, and that’s fine.
And I’ve got…

Two choices. But I won’t make one – I won’t. I’m faking something, oh, that I can count on, and…

(Hold sway for…) If pressured for tradition and steady income, how long can we concern ourselves?

Cut from what I’ve got.
I wake to another day – integrity or not.
I’m not pouting, I’m afraid.
Each and every day I’m shelling out. I’m shelling out. I’m shelling out.

(Hold sway for…) If pressured for tradition and steady income, how long can we concern ourselves?
A cut from what I’ve got.
I wake to another day – integrity or not.
I’m not pouting, I’m afraid.
The price we all should pay – I’m shelling out.

No pay, the market’s flooded – well, no shit – and you’re free to go.
In the age of trending product – create – made with heart and soul.
The money’s gone; we’re gonna spend through the red, and that’s fine.

Two choices. Two choices.
And I won’t make one. I won’t. I won’t. I won’t.

Was heading back from a rock show and I knew where I’d turn to for making good.
They said to be the change and change the world. Give it all away.

(Hold sway for…) When pressured for tradition and steady income, how long can we concern ourselves?
And cut from what I’ve got.
I wake to another day – integrity or not.
I’m not pouting, I’m afraid.
Each and every day I’m shelling out. I’m shelling out. I’m shelling out.

(Hold sway for…) Money changes everything I’m told
(Hold sway for…) And time will tell it all.
(Hold sway for…) Money changes everything I’m told.

about

Poor Me Denver, Colorado

Formed in 2010, Denver, CO’s Poor Me has always been a passion project; an alchemical merging of charged aggression and killer songwriting. Catharsis comes and goes in a mass of sweating bodies, fists raised to the stage. This is skate punk dragged into the now—where fast drums, muscular riffs, and razor-wire lyrics unite to document a world more fucked than ever. ... more
