Lyrics

Grinning at the Lid

Con the outside world

It could have been so fun

Grinning at the lid

Lips on the gun

We're self critical and hate you all

We keep inside so fuck you all

[Chorus]

Waltzing through life

Their heads fell to the ground

Waltzing through hell

Their heads fell to the ground

We were grinning at the lid

Just grin at the lid

What if our accents were different

I think I said too much

And everything's hanging in the balance

[?]

And the files, they're pissing in the wind, so fuck you all

[Chorus]

Waltzing through life

Their heads fell to the ground

Waltzing through hell

Their heads fell to the ground

We were grinning at the lid

Just grin at the lid

Just grin at the lid

Just grin at the lid

Our all granddad's clothes were [?]

Just because you moved 'round more

And what if we were accepted different

And your words don't mean more

And our strife, it's pissing in the wind

[?] it's pissing in the sea

Pissing in the sea

[Chorus]

Waltzing through life

Their heads fell to the ground

Waltzing through hell

Their heads fell to the ground

(Why do we do that?)

Grinning at the lid

Grinning at the lid  (What are we doing here?)

Grinning at the lid

Grinning at the lid

Grinning at the lid
