Kevin Devine I Don T Care About Your Band Lyrics

I don't care about your band
I thought I could; turns out I can't
I mean no malice - I promise, man
I just don't care about your band
But I care that you're an honest guy
An ambassador for peace & light
A struggler who forgives himself
A human being, and nothing else
See, I found out about your band
Via blogosphere, via hidden hand
You were DIY, you were test-tube made
I wasn't biting either way
But I care that you're a voice for change
Who lives the things she sings onstage
A struggler who forgives herself
A human being, and nothing else
In the middle
We're feeling less-than
Boxed up in riddles
Self-conscious second guessing
If you listen
There's a lesson
It's transcendent, if you listen
I'd like to be a better guy
No easy targets
No cheap drive-bys
But I'm a part-time monster who
Contradicts himself
I'm a human being
And nothing else
And I don't care about your band
