Cam Meekins – Lamp City Anthem lyrics

[Hook]
(Try so hard to fight it, woah ho, woah ho)
Cause it's the Lamp City Anthem
So get your hands up
And even if you try you can't understand us
(So start telling me why you gotta be this way, why you gotta be this way.)
[2x]

Yeah
It seems like my whole life I've been chasing this queen
And every month she becomes a different person
And I don't know how much time I got on this planet
But I wanna look back and say it was worth it

Shit
See I've been getting drunk regularly lately
And I hope that helps me deal with the fact that I'm fucking crazy
See all I know is that I'm trying to have a good time
And you look like a woman that could help me write a good rhyme

I wake up late
I don't know where the day went
I follow all the rules like you
I go through all the same shit

And see I wish I could have more
But everytime I go to get it
I feel trapped and run right back to being so complacent

Began to love the simple life
Or driving 'round in my car
Rolling all the windows down so they can see just who you are

And even if I ain't shit
It make me feel like I'm a star
And that's really all I need to keep my hands feeling the breeze

It brings me back to the days of growing up without a care
Now I got so many responsibilities I can't get up for air
But I had to share these thoughts to let you know it's all alright
Go out enjoy the time and make something with your life

[Hook]
And uh, I don't really want to be a jerk
So I guess I'll just go back to work

[Hook]
And uh, I don't really wanna be an asshole
But I guess it's just where the grass grow

Gimme a one, a two, three and four
Yo chill with all those numbers G
I'm still the same man
But you act like you don't remember me

Still a work in progress
My lifes an empty box
But I can't get that pair of shoes
Without first putting on my socks

So pour a glass of wine
Reminisce about the good times
Everybody got somethin' to hide
Come and find mine

Pick apart my words
Lay 'em down on the mattress
And sing my lyrics while I lay you down with your flat chest

Skinny blonde hair
Taught me how to make lasangna
Now she's gone and I guess
And I gotta learn to move on

But I found that everybody has their vice
Her's was me
She would feed off my insecurities
And set her free from all her own shit

Sorry man, this wine got the best of me
Either that or it's the other cup I got with all this Hennessy
But I'm a be all right cause I'm alive and I'm living life
I'm a be alright if I can live to live another night

Still living everyday as if it was my last
Throw a middle finger up to what I let go in the past
It's a new day
Let the song play and let it leak out
Sing my fucking course before I freak out

[Hook]
And there's nothing really to watch on the telly
So I guess I'll just eat this peanut butter and jelly

[Hook]
And uh, I ran out of clichés a while ago
So I guess I'm just gonna go over to Kyle's yo

And they said simplicity was dead man

Not even kiddin I did this in my basement
(Man)
I made this shit
(Man)
All by myself
(Man)

Look at me mom
