wil wagner - why i can't draw (and why everyone is evil) lyrics

i found an old notebook filled up with pictures
found my friends in hospital beds with facial st-tches
we sat around the table drinking, hoping no one would ever die
a scribble of an elephant with “why i can’t draw and why everyone is evil” written above it in faded black ink
heated debate about the legal system
let’s have a rally, let’s start a revolution
set fires under our feet, do our best not to stamp it out
and all i can see through the rooftops and the chimneys is the top of a billboard that reads “love”
and i think it’s an advert for nasal spray technology but in our current state it doesn’t matter much

[chorus]
and these things are consuming but there’s more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
and darling you’ve befriended dropouts and drifters
so why would you expect anything different?
but this is a summer song and i want you all to sing along
it goes da-dadadada-da-da-da-dadadada-da-dadada-da-dadadadadada-da-dadadada-da-dadadadada-da-oh-oh

and a woman with a face that slid right down to the top of her dress told me i’d succeed ’cause i’d been touched by a goddess
if technology’s taught me anything it’s that writing is much easier than speaking
that walking is best done in silence and rooftops are best left leaking
and as we boarded up the wall where our fists had fell the night before
i said “i’m sorry that i shout, i’m not sorry that i don’t put out
i’m sorry i don’t understand things unless i find music in them”

and you know that you feel like i left you, but you left me without much of a choice
i haven’t learnt to draw but at least i’ve never lost my voice

[chorus]
