lyrics

There's no such thing as posers
They're people trying to survive
Slaves to the in- and out-group
Social dividing lines
Don't hate on some poor fool
Dressing to fit in
Save your hate for Nazis
Toast your friends with gin

I have no time for edgelords
Arguing so much online
I'll save my bile for real life
For the masters and the swine
Living with courage is choosing
To shed your chicken skin
But even if we keep losing
I'll toast my friends with gin

What are you missing
When you're alone at night?
I heard the propagandist say
"Loneliness is delight"
Well don't buy it for a second
No, don't let the bastards win
If you find yourself alone
Toast your friends with gin

I've been a drunkard, a loser, a media pirate, a poet, a gimp, and a spook,
Many times I thought of praying, but I can't believe the news
How can there be a God judging what you do?
Well if you're watching, baby, here's something obscenely taboo!

What are you missing
When you're strung out in a crowd?
I heard the supermodel say that
Everyone should bow
Well don't buy it for a second
No, don't let the bastards win
If you find yourself with wankers
And the night is wearing thin
Be proud of your misfit condition
Toast your friends with gin
