Lyrics to 80% is Good Enough

Damn I loved writing lyrics to this song. Chuck, Don, and Rob crushed the instrumental. So simple and fun. This track will be with our newest release and very well may be the closest representation to a band ethos. Try hard.....but not TOO hard. You get what we mean?

The irony is that when writing this, and this is on a purely personal level, I really felt as if I was speaking to myself. Emitting a warning. Like some separate, rational, and calm side of my intellect was trying to tell me to slow down. I can't. I wish I could. It's not in my make up. I wasted so much time being a fucking loser that I have to move. Unfortunately, I've found that heeding my own advice is a lot like trying to massage my own back.

ENJOY!!!


80% is Good Enough

I live my life by a certain set
Of principles, they aren't hard to get
I only work till I'm certain you're pleased
And leave the rest for all the "get aheads"
Now I know you think that you need the best
And that you swallow all you can ingest
But when you're hungry and lonely winning
I'm at home full and fast asleep

(Pre-Chorus)
How do you live like this? X4

(Chorus)
Lying awake and I'm racing fast
Cause I worked so hard they own me
8 out of 10 and I gave enough
Why fill mine up when it's clear your cup
Is constantly overflowing
80% seems good enough


I tried to see the appeal of working till my hands bleed
But it only hurts my head thinking of doing
Any more than you've asked of me
Now how do you live hearing "tick tick tick"
On all your plans? Cause that would make me sick
Cause whether hell or high water wading
I'll find peace in satisfactory

(Pre Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Breakdown)
Will I survive my heart attack
Or have it out cause I'm lonely?
80% seems good enough
And if that's right
Than I'll drink it cold
Cause I broke my back
And I was never home
80% seems good enough
It seems good enough
SEEMS GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

(Chorus)
