Anthems of None

Ted Leo

[Verse 1]
Ooh, you weren't prepared for the drama
Anyone could see how
I know, I know, I know how it feels
It's the same thing with me now

[Verse 2]
It's trouble at the bank, trouble in the street
And there's trouble all around you
While you weep for a soul in the deep
You had trouble getting down to

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Too new to stop
Too blue to cut it off
Too soon, you're beating up yourself
Like everyone, like everyone

[Verse 3]
You can go to hell or you can go to the well
There's a spirit in the spring, man
You gotta kill when you start to distill
That's the spirit of the thing, man

[Verse 4]
We try to freeze all the bottles and the bees
And pin them to the wall, yeah
No one will sing about the small things with wings
And just let them all be small, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Too near to stop
Too dear to cut it off
Too soon you're eating up your health
Like everyone, like everyone

[Chorus 1]
Kill all the songs
The drops on the ones that are never done
Let it spill off your tongue
An anthem of none but for everyone

[Verse 5]
Another day when you don't like your space
Being so conditional, yeah
Or other days when you don't want to face
Being everything to all, yeah

[Verse 6]
But you've got the rain and the sea
And anyone could see how
Hey oh, hey oh, they don't need to be
Or mean another thing now

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Too near to stop
Too dear to cut it off
You hear you're beating up yourself
From everyone, from everyone

[Chorus 1]
Kill all the songs
The drops on the ones that are never done
Let it spill off your tongue
An anthem of none but for everyone

[Chorus 2]
Give up your guns, get shriven in tongues
'Neath the burning sun
And let it fill up your lungs
The air that's for none and for everyone

[Outro]
Epic and tiny, both
