lyrics

Work smarter not harder shut the fuck up you retarded
No offended life is precious no it isn’t
Shit’s a dime a dozen everybody dead alive who wasn’t
Got your name up on a sign and yet it’s all for nothing

So many names can be seen on the street
But nobody pays attention to who it could be
Or what it could mean, but so what it’s in our nature
For the brain to label it as fucking wallpaper

Don’t believe me, check in your wallet
Without looking at that $10 can you tell me who’s on it?
Without looking at the $100 could you tell me who’s on it?
If you said a president ignorance you are flaunting

Household names are the same Beethoven what he’d play?
The piano yeah OK
Worthless fact, what a waste, we decide it’s a choice
To pay attention or go deaf to all the fucking noise

Signs, bricks, and bridges
Stake claim with your name but they’ll just forget it
Towers, buildings, and benches
Your name may remain but they’ll just forget it

I went to grade school, 8 years
The guy it was named after, ain’t here
What a pity a situation so sad
If I was asked to talk about him I couldn’t tell you a fact

The ego screaming, begging please
Doing everything it can for its legacy
But no one’s looking and likely missed it
So your name might as well just be a hieroglyphic

It’s plain and simple your name is made of symbols
That are containing info you came and went though
So what is left after death
Just a bunch of characters in a plaque on a bench

On the ground in a brick, no cares or gives a shit
Stepping on your petty name without regard for what it is
And the memories fade life leaves you behind
Now your name is just meaningless words on sign

Signs, bricks, and bridges
Stake claim with your name but they’ll just forget it
Towers, buildings, and benches
Your name may remain but they’ll just forget it
