            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 Kids with broken hearts, kids with broken bones 
Kids with kidney stones giving birth to bloody stereos 
Systems are all dripping wet with the gristle piss and the swizzlesticks 
Mary got a bloody nose from sniffing margarita mix 
She licked her lower lip and then she kissed that hallelujah chick 
She came off kind of spicy but she tasted like those pickle chips 
Thought she was a dancer but her steps they made the records skip 
She came off kind of crunchy but she went down like a chicken strip 
Dripping wet with the special sauce 
She had a confident smile and a nervous cough 
And we got off 
She said, 'It's good to see you back in a bar band, baby.' 
I said, 'It's great to see you're still in the bars.' 
She said, 'It's good to see you back in a bar band, baby.' 
I said, 'It's great to see you're still in the bars.' 
Went down with a tallboy can and he woke up in a cargo van 
Went down with the girls gone wild and he woke up with a middle man 
Went down with like fourteen bucks and woke up with like sixteen grand 
Went down with some crust punk junk and woke up with a straight edge band 
That's not how he planned it 
Holly can't speak, she don't feel all that sweet 
About the places she sometimes has to go to get some sleep 
She said 'I'm sorry, people think I'm pretty.' 
These clever kids are killing me 
For one they ain't that clever 
Number two, it really sucks when you get stuck here with these trevors 
This was supposed to be a party 
Half the crowd is calling out for 'born to run' 
The other half is calling out for 'born to lose' 
Baby, we were born to choose 
We got the last call bar band really, really, really big decision blues 
We were born to bruise 
We were born to bruise 
We were born to bruise
