HOWL (Protest Song)

All I wanna do is write folk songs in my room and stare at the moon

Howl like a dog and watch you get off

But I'm on tour with the band

So I can't make plans 'cause I'm stuck in a van

If there's a cliff, I might get off

No one came to the show last night

I'm so burnt out and I wanna go home

And someone's waiting up for me, I know

We have a couple drinks to pass the time in this fucked up city that only serves whine

We smoke so much, I think I'm going blind

And all I wanna do it is write folk songs in my room and stare at the moon

Howl like a dog and watch you get off

But I'm on tour with the band

So I can't make plans 'cause I'm stuck in a van

If there's a cliff, I might get off

And I've been considering growing up

Getting married, have a baby and expanding our love

But I'm still struggling to catch up

I lose myself out there, I know

I get so goddamn distant from home

Just wishing to see someone that resembles somebody I know

And all I wanna do it is write folk songs in my room and stare at the moon

Howl like a dog and watch you get off

But I'm on tour with the band

So I can't make plans 'cause I'm stuck in a van

If there's a cliff, I might get off

I beat up my guitar on stage

And I'm bleeding from my fingers in an act of rage

I'm stuck writing protest songs 'cause the government says I don't belong

And what's a guy supposed to do when my mere existence is political?

I write love songs too, I write love songs too, I write love songs too

Is queer love still atypical?

All I wanna do is write folk songs in my room and stare at the moon

Howl like a dog and watch you get off

But I'm on tour with the band

So I can't make plans 'cause I'm stuck in a van

If there's a cliff, I might get off

Ah-whoo

Ah-whoo

Ah-whoo

Ah-whoo

Ah-whoo
