lyrics

You say you love me and I guess that’s true

Our Sunday best
Painted eyes combed hair and a counterfeit smile
A suit and vest
Raising hands in the sky it’s divine no just infinite jest

Oh no
I’ll throw up from all these spoiled babies cries
Why would I intervene if we both know you’re gonna die

You say you love me and I guess that’s true
Another spill for me to run right to
Cause I heard
(I heard)
The world
(The world)
Was cracking down on you
And every time you hoped it was the best thing

I’ve watched you grow
Moved from caves and enslaved to rodeo drive
I'm sure you know
That the kid with no arms and no legs rather you survive

I hear
Your fears your pain your lust your greed your hate
Well have you thought the problem ought to be your own mistakes?

You say you love me and I guess that’s true
Another spill for me to run right to
Cause I heard
(I heard)
The world
(The world)
Was cracking down on you
And every time you hoped it was the best thing

You want it
God’s target
God’s target
You’ve got it

You say you love me and I guess that’s true
Another spill for me to run right to
Cause I heard
(I heard)
The world
(The world)
Was cracking down on you
And every time you hoped it was the best thing

The Gooms are a Los Angeles based indie rock band whose edgy and melodic sound derives from a die-hard love of surf, punk, jazz, and all that lies in between. Their off-kilter brand of noise rock coupled with catchy hooks and dirty instrumentation make them a force to be reckoned with. They won’t apologize for stirring a ruckus in your ear canals, but they will give you a hug. ... more
