lyrics

You can use your charms, but you’ve got a tough sell
You can keep on trying to keep the dying from going to hell
You can use your horns, they’ll hook me I know
Well they’ll poke, impale, I’ll flail, you tell me where to go

You can burn out all the stars in the sea
but you won’t ever get your papers on me
You can chain me to your family tree
but you won’t ever get your papers on me

You can wind me up, you can follow me down
You can keep your naggin’ on, tag along all over town
You can hide my smoke, you can pour out my drink
but I’ll churn and bubble and brew it in the kitchen sink

And you can throw me just as far as you see
but you won’t ever get your papers on me
You will string me up the shape of a T
but you won’t ever get your papers on me

You can scrape & bow, spend the night on the ground
You can simper n’ whimper n’ weep without making a sound
You can sell me out, all the debt that I owe
You can flip yer trigger & dig your boot into my bone

Now you can hold me down and holler at me
but you won’t ever get your papers on me
And you can shack up and get buried with me
but you won’t ever get your papers on me

“Roots-heavy, post-punk music that reinvents the conventions of country music with a CBGB’s-meets-Grand Ole Opry feel.” -Crawdaddy

“Carter Family-meets-Ramones” -All Music Guide
