Ignition is my favorite. There's a song on there called No Hero about suicide and how the guy dealing with it tried to stop it from happening but couldn't. They used to have poignant and powerful music. Not sure if they were always like this or if along the way they allowed fame to morph them into establishment bootlickers. So much for being "punk rock"....
Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo so
What did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
I should have known, you went through it alone
I wonder why, Did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo so
What did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
'Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off,' they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this, Let it go
Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo so
What did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
