My Name [Rock] - Dear Percy Ross

Copied!

Why do we deserve
What did we deserve
We leave a mark indelibly on the world
Color us stupid or smart
It doesn't matter
We believe in our dreams
Even though they may be shattered

Words can defeat their own sounds
Education teaches us to cheat
Create another teacher
Hypocritical, belligerent in action
Is the real explanation for this transaction
Pеople switch for something
You and I included
For to pay for our еternal salvation
We're not deluded
Even when we pay through the nose
Criminals are being exposed
The industry to me is a dirty word
So it scares me

Tonight or this evening I realized once again
Staying afloat in a sea is me
I want to live with the animals
To get to know true commitment
Was it all from above
So real I can feel the key man has on me
And the lid I used to set me free
Standing in the corner I wanna watch
But not participate
'cause I'm shaking
My abstract thoughts
Well it taunts me and pulls me
To even the score

Dear Percy Ross I'm amazed at you
You have more money than you know what to do with
A living example of charity
A shining example to people in this society

So why do we deserve
More than we deserve
We leave a mark indelibly on the world
Color us stupid or smart
It doesn't matter
We believe in our dreams
Even though they may be shattered
'cause even when we pay through the nose
Criminals are being exposed
The industry to me is a dirty word
So it scares me

edit bio

Tacoma-based My Name took hardcore-tinged pop-punk an extra step with their intelligent lyrics, complex drum arrangements and melodic vocal hooks. In 1992, they released their debut album, Megacrush, on Seattle label, C/Z Records. Megacrush won some critical acclaim and helped build their name in the Northwest. Soon after its release, the band gained spots on tours with All and Bad Religion, which helped build a national following for the band. In 1993, they released their second album, Wet Hills and Big Wheels. By this time they had opened for a whole crop of successful bands, including Soundgarden, Primus and Jesus Lizard. In 1996, the band followed up with their third album, Rocks for the Jocks, on Instant Records.
