Lyrics

Cass McCombs — Not the Way

Contempt for all, a vocabulary vow

Sifting ash, can't see in from out

First to know, quick to criticize

Blow by blow, cutting boxer eyes

That's not the way

That's not the way to make

That's not the way to make friends

Contempt for love and everything you’ve drowned
