ryan kopperud - party marty lyrics

[verse 1: ryan kopperud]
look, this is just another night we sigh over broken insides
motivated to climb a highrise, try to fly
oh my, won’t that be stunning?
when i tumble seven stories and hit the ground running
now i never understood the meaning of easy access
and having the stomach to get back up comes with practice
i’ll show ’em what they don’t see, i won’t sleep
’til they’ve been fed what they won’t eat, even if it tastes bleak
’round here we do nothing for the h+ll of it
minnesota weather has been known to claim the hesitant
no room for the delicate, labels won’t take residence
we’re often disregarded like the coastal kids take precedence
i dare ’em all, survive our winter weather
in the land of the forgotten, no pennies to rub together
no halfway crooks, and no half stepping
and no half+and+half in my coffee for the record, i know

[chorus: the van gobots & ryan kopperud]
one day, this will all make sense
one day, they’ll believe what was said and meant
one day, they’re gonna pay me to do this
one day, we’ll be respected for the movement
one day, i’ll be able to sleep soundly
one day, my stomach will quit growling
one day, i won’t hear the demons call
’til that one day comes, and i’m free of it all

[verse 2: ryan kopperud]
it’s k!lling me that what is unfulfilling fills the rent check
i’m trying to make a name and i still haven’t made a dent yet
but, it can’t all be that useless
payin’ bills and makin’ music can’t be mutually exclusive
follow your path, not a single omission
my desire to write was a preexisting condition
forget about kindness, i’ma k!ll ’em with wisdom
and suggest they check the mississippi for the people missing
if you’re not angry most days, you’re probably not listening
defense mechanisms to reject that which is sickening
i understand it all and none at the same time
in between goin’ after it and waitin’ for a sign, so
stay electric, make it infectious
convey the message in a way they won’t expect it
try not to count the seconds while you try to be the best, and
’til we’re hollowed out, you won’t ever find us resting

[verse 3: ryan kopperud]
lately i’ve been feeling like i walk too tall
for a couple twin cities, they could feel so small
ten thousand lakes, half as many people
in a country so cowardly we don’t deserve the eagle
as our representative, so pop another sedative
find a couch, turn on t.v., claim that it’s all relative
we can’t help feeling like a sorry squad of kids
when trying to get by on just enough hardly is
a heap of difficulty in matters of privilege
salutations and godspeed don’t pay our dividends
we start to wonder if it’s where we’re living in
that’s why i don’t seem surprised when i see people giving in
they say don’t let this place shape you, keeping waiting for that breakthrough
medicate the panic, ’cause the doctor says to take two
and call him in the morning, but ’til then i guess we’ll make do
with a couple half smiles, and a handle of hard booze
