buckingham greene - brent dicrescenzo lyrics

[verse 1]
you said i’m like a walrus with the sapphire eyes
and you say he’s like a boxcar that doesn’t know its size
and we’re just meat+slabs waiting ‘til each one of us dies
you think saying these things makes you different from other guys
now i’m angry, now i’m angry waiting in the car
are you finished with your monologue about harper’s bazaar?
you come in, sit shotgun, then revel in your pain
what the h+ll is the point of speaking like a soapbox in your brain?

[chorus]
we all want to be punk
we all want to be emo
we all want to be beatniks
and we all want to be gonzo
but you don’t sound like the boy that i know
you sound like brent dicrescenzo
[verse 2]
i remember when we first met in the hall
you were the only boy who cut right through it all
you said this city was bogus and the country was against us
we would get up early and make love while waiting for the school bus
but everything seemed to change like you saw a comet for the first time
you feign sincerity when you sound this d+mn contrived
who’s this poet? who’s that philosopher? do you use them as camouflage?
do you sound just like a human or a refrigerator+magnet montage?

[chorus]
we all want to be punk
we all want to be emo
we all want to be beatniks
and we all want to be gonzo
but you don’t sound like the boy that i know
you sound like brent dicrescenzo
but you don’t sound like the boy that i know
you sound like brent dicrescenzo

[verse 3]
i don’t wanna hear about polo on the pacific coast
i don’t wanna hear about the bad english paper you wrote
i don’t wanna hear about a briefcase full of unsharpened pencils
i wanna see that boy i loved before he tried to be prehensile
i don’t wanna hear about your beef with tim kinsella
i don’t wanna hear about putting it all under the pop umbrella
i don’t wanna hear about the ronnie and phil of crunk
how can i take you seriously when you regurgitate this junk?
[chorus]
we all want to be punk
we all want to be emo
we all want to be beatniks
and we all want to be gonzo
but you don’t sound like the boy that i know
you sound like brent dicrescenzo
no, you don’t f+cking sound like that boy that i got to know
(or ryan schrieber)
you sound just like brent dicrescenzo

[outro]
you’re just a run+on… (repeated ad infinitum)
