Sweat & Swagger

[Intro] . . . [Verse 1] If I wrote a song about my teenage anxiety Would you make it yours? Would you sing it back to me? But I don't do emo, I'm white but not that white Not rich enough, not young enough, not sad enough to cry right If I told you I write only for myself Would you lock me in a basement with no wifi on the shelf? I would. And I'd laugh a lot. If I streamed my daily grind, my coffee and my doubt Would you say "this slaps" just to hear yourself shout? But if I'm gonna sell you me, I'll do it with the songs Not a reel of me crying with my mascara on [Pre-Chorus] They said rock is dead, I said "Sure, man, sure" Lit a cigarette and played a diminished four [Chorus] Sweat and swagger That's the whole damn answer Feedback in the room, dirt on the floor Sweat and swagger, nothing more [Verse 2] If I told you this song wrote itself in twenty minutes Would that make it worse or would you finally get it? 'Cause the ones that took me years still felt like nothing And the ones I threw away kept coming back for something If I said I had a process, had a brand, had a vision Would you buy it? Man, I'd buy it — bad decision But the amp don't care about your content strategy Just turn it up and let the feedback set you free [Pre-Chorus] They said you need a concept, I said "Nah, I need a riff" They said you need a vision, I said "I need a fifth" [Chorus] Sweat and swagger That's the whole damn answer Feedback in the room, dirt on the floor Sweat and swagger, nothing more [Bridge] It ain't a manifesto, it ain't a think piece It ain't a mood board, it ain't a release It's four minutes of noise with something underneath It's the thing that bites you when you least expect to bleed And yeah — it's just an excuse to play this fucking solo [GUITAR SOLO] [Final Chorus] Sweat and swagger That's the whole damn answer Feedback in the room, dirt on the floor Sweat and swagger, nothing more Sweat and swagger That's the whole damn answer Feedback in the room, dirt on the floor Sweat and swagger, nothing more [Outro] Just turn it up man! ... Turn it up! ... Louder! [music stops] ...Ahahah [end]
