Lyrics: Pay your five at the door and get down here Invite combustion Rebuild destruction Around here it’s cloudy 400 days a year Seasonal depression a perennial condition Denizens of the bottom shelf Reservation cigarettes Cheap Skates, Cheap Dates, Cheat Fate To revel in two minute vignettes Smells like American Spirit so loud you can feel it Coats like paint, tastes like fame The All-American Spirit So true you’ll never believe it Unbridled pride rusts the same Pay your five at the door and get down here Reveal expression, Set free exhaustion Give me your hungry, your poor We’re all hungry and poor so get down here Word of mouth destinations Gas station luxuries Push back, on track, where’s Drach? This town’s got no where better to be Smells like American Spirit so loud you can feel it Coats like paint, tastes like fame The All-American Spirit Put your head down to receive it Patron saints doused in shame The All-America air so thick you’ll never clear it Video Credits: Daylon Liles (friend and camera engineer). #onthecindernation #buffalopunk
