Down at the rock shop
They’re giving contracts out like candy bars
Down at the rock shot
They’re spending money like they’re millionaires
Atrophy
Down at the sock hop
You jock your way up to the microphone
Down at the suck up
You tell a lie and then you strike a pose
Running headlong
Into nowhere
Fucking dumbstruck
By my bad luck
Down at the rock shop
They keep your photograph upon the wall
Down at the rock shot
You point the finger but you heed the call
Down at the sock hop
You go attracted to a million stares
Down at the boardwalk
You play to nobody cause no one cares
Running headlong
Into nowhere
Fucking dumbstruck
By my bad luck
Clean as can be? Not any more!
Pack the filth, stack the bills, and watch the bodies fall
You fill me up with your reasons, I don’t feel nothing at all
Sweet as can be, you’re the belle of the ball
Running headlong
Into nowhere
Fucking dumbstruck
By my bad luck
Atrophy
