THE GET UP KIDS LYRICS

"Your Petty Pretty Little Things"

All of your pretty things

Your petty pretty things are gone

the ground beneath your feet

isn't the stable earth you thought



A song so sweetly sung

as if the offer would rescind

credit all firsthand accounts

With need to write about and spin mistakes

they're all mistakes

they're all mistakes



But on the way down

On the way down

Before you can see

But all the way down

You laugh with the pieces

You just can't explain it all away

Away the damage

And after you atone

This is all you have to show



All of your pretty things

Those petty pretty things

You lost

Discerning tastes agree

The who you used to be

Was awful, to be true



But now we see you

Now we see you

On the way down

All the way down

Before you can see

But all the way down

You laugh with the pieces

You just can't explain it all away

Away the damage

And after you atone

This is all you have to show



"Does it seem to be persisting?" [x13]
