Four Year Strong - Your Ego Is Writing Checks Your Body Can't Cash Lyrics






I got up and made my way to the door
And I dropped my conscience on the way out
I turned and I looked back down on the floor
But my conscience wasn't there anymore

So then I got to thinking...
Was it there in the first place?
Can you read it on my face?
Cause I just don't care anymore
And I just don't give a damn anymore

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

Told everyone I would try to get by
But I felt like I was wasting my time
I found my way this time
So why should I try
To stay grounded when my head's in the sky

Then I got to thinking...
Will they miss me when I'm gone?
Will they leave the porch light on?
If I can't find home anymore
Or will I not have a home anymore?

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

When we go
We just live our lives by rock and rolling our eyes
At the second place prize
Cuz I'm feelin' lucky tonight
And I'll just stick stick stick to the things I know
If you'll just quit quit quit quit buggin' me about it baby
Don't tell me that I'm missing out
Cuz I just don't give a damn anymore

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

  1. d.... ....

    I had completely forgotten about this song. I loved it on the borrowed/copied/found demo that floated around

  2. L.... ....

    11 years on, shit still sounds dope.

  3. S.... 4....

    This is the same song as the old one.. It's also definitely not acoustic lol

    S.... 4....

    SuprA 44 where in the description of the album does it say acoustic? It says "rarities, unheard originals, & reimagined favorites". I'd say this is a rarity

    S.... 4....

    The video title

    S.... 4....

    The title bruv can you not see

  4. D.... K....

    Glad they didn't change the songs from It's Our time too much.

  5. J.... M....

    But it sounds the same as the old one already recorded..isnt it?

    J.... M....

    Better sound, IMO

    J.... M....

    It's the "rare" in rarities IMO. It's been around for forever but most people haven't heard it

    J.... M....

    This is a remastered track

  6. C.... B....

    Damn. How many years have we waited for this one!

    C.... B....

    A Lot Like Violence just a few. I remember back when In Someway, Shape, Or Form came out. They got so much backlash. I told so many people I love and support this band so much, they could make an acoustic album and I would love it. Well here we are! I couldn't be more excited. I love everything they do. They have been a huge deal in my life. They have brought me out of places I didn't need to be in.

    C.... B....
