The Classic Crime was one of those bands I found by chance back during my early teen years. I was at my neighbor Matt's house (a former friend from childhood) and I was on the computer browsing MySpace for music. I wanted to listen to The Clash, so I typed the name, but I typo'd and typed in "Class". The Classic Crime popped up on the top row along with a few other bands. Curiosity made me click on it because I really was into their name and went to their page. They had a few songs from their first album on there and it was awesome. The lyrics, music, and vibe really made me feel like this band was like as if Panic! And Fall Out Boy had a younger brother that went somewhat of a different route in the rock genre. And I've been listening to them ever since. So, here's "Cheap Shots" from their album, "Vagabonds".
I have a demon in me
It shows its teeth and escapes
when I impatiently speak
that's when i make my mistakes
It seems I'm prone to abuse
I'm just like you, I'm just like you
I keep my mouth shut around
the fools and liars of this town
Starting fast from their lips
They burned it all to the ground
You know if you want the truth
You'll just end up getting burned too
Will the water wash me clean?
You can take it all out on me,
you can take it all out on me.
So go ahead and spit your poison out
Yeah go ahead and take your cheap shots
I've never been too proud to sin,
Why don't you rub my face in it.
Yeah go ahead and spit your poison out
Yeah go ahead and take your cheap shots
I've never been too proud to sin,
Why don't you rub my face in it.
You walk the walk,
don't you talk the talk too?
But in your heart you died alone
A long, long time ago.
Will the water wash you clean?
You can take it all out on me,
you can take it all out on me.
So go ahead and spit your poison out
Yeah go ahead and take your cheap shots
I've never been too proud to sin,
Why don't you rub my face in it.
Yeah go ahead and spit your poison out
Yeah go ahead and take your cheap shots
I've never been too proud to sin,
Why don't you rub my face in it.
So go ahead and spit your poison out
Yeah go ahead and take your cheap shots
I've never been too proud to sin,
Why don't you rub my face in it.
Yeah go ahead and spit your poison out
Yeah go ahead and take your cheap shots
I've never been too proud to sin,
Why don't you rub my face in it.
