Last Call at the Toothless Saloon
Embracing Rebellion: Last Call for the Unburied
Lyrics
Don't want to die in this Has Been Town
Expressing a desire to avoid death in the current town that has lost its former glory.
There's too much sorrow I fear I'll drown
Feeling overwhelmed by sorrow and the fear of being drowned in it.
Where happy hours go down the drain
Reflecting on wasted time and lost opportunities, where joyous moments are wasted.
Don't want to be no nameless face
Rejecting the idea of being an anonymous and forgotten individual.
Talking all about the olden days
Nostalgically discussing past times and memories.
And all my friends who made the grave
Mentioning friends who have passed away and are buried in graves.
Yeah all the ones who couldn't wait.
Referring to friends who couldn't wait and died prematurely.
I've got no time to waste on bottled sympathy
Expressing a lack of time for insincere sympathy offered in the form of bottled emotions.
I've got no time to waste on drunken eulogies

Don't count me out

Don't call me history

I'm not dead don't bury me

And spare your jealous teeth

Don't want to be no clean teen dream
Rejecting the idea of conforming to a squeaky-clean and predictable image.
A green machine selling magazines

Their average lifespan is a week

Like a hypocrite
