Girls Like Status

He’s drawn out in the dark, up in Penetration Park
He says he’s got your medication
And she was sitting on the edges of his vision
Trying to start a revolution
But he’s done with all the parties
He’s covered in contusions
Your life leaves life lines
Your rug leaves bright bruises
She said she was cruising
But she came back, all proud and out of focus
With a cool car
Drank and broke us
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
There are so many nights
When this is just how it happens
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
He was dreadlocked in the dorms, in the Colorado corn
He says he’s got your vegetation
And she was sitting on the edge of the bed
Smoking, trying to reach emancipation
And he’s done with DVDs, he’s fully entertained
He’s bleaching out the blood stains, he’s got diamonds in the drain
She said that she was coming but she wasn’t
Just made hard fast noises, it kinda sounded like the locusts
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
There are so many nights
When this is just how it happens
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
It was song number three on John’s last CD
Gonna make it through this year if it kills me
And it almost killed me
Well, song number four on that
You want the scars but you don’t want the war
That’s just hardcore, these kids are clever to the core
