This City's a Catastrophe
Its 8 o'clock on a friday night.
Andy's wasted and Charlie's high,
but their telling me they're just fine.
Their words are slurring, I can barely understand.
They start to laugh, Andy spills the beer in his hand.
Youre all just liars...
CHORUS:
So this is growing up?
(I'm scared to death)
So this is growing up?
(theres not many left)
One of my friends will die before their 18.
I can see it happening.
This is Newport living.
Brittney's a virgin, or maybe she;s not.
You know her stories never really did add up.
Since when did it become okay to give everything up?
Jeffrey's having a party tonight, he invited a couple girls.
They're gonna get so much more than they bargained for.
They'll find out
they're all just liars..
CHORUS
there's a party going on
down at the skate park in town.
I can tell you where I won't be.
you can't bring me down.
I bet you Andy's already
wasted out of his mind
and Charlie's already
higher than high
and a few girls already lost it all.
I think i'll just skip this one tonight,
you're gonna need someone to call..
This city's a catastrophe...
I won't let it get to me..
