Asshole

This song was originally set to the tune of the song This Is The Army by Irving Berlin. It's can be percieved an apology or an offence but I prefer to think of it as confession. The second verse contains a reference to the fact it took me 2 years to tell my best friend and now wife that I loved her. The third verse contains refences to two Against Me! songs. Tessa thinks this song will become a standard in the set. 2 of the verses were originally in the song Revolutionary Colors off my Home Again record.

Asshole

I woke up this morning on a sunday
One of my 2 split days off this week
started feeling tired around 8 Pm
And I can't find a kind word to speak

I hate feeling like an Asshole
I hate feeling so unnerved
I hate feeling like the things I hate
And I wish I could take back my words

See I can't even tell you that I love you
But I wanna love before I do
One more year in holy isolation
Maybe I'll finally get to try

Oh truly I've never laughed at danger
But I talk a pretty good game
And when were all walking honest
We all look the same

I hate feeling like an Asshole
I hate feeling so unnerved
I hate feeling like the things I hate
And I wish I could take back my words

I woke up this morning on a Sunday
One year later sleeping next to you
Wishing I could say that I've tamed my tongue
But someday that would not be true

I hate feeling like an Asshole
I hate feeling so unnerved
I hate feeling like the things I hate
And I wish I could take back my words
