lyrics

Pour champagne in your OJ
Breakfast is the only meal
Go score a little Oxy
Cause you love the way it makes you feel

Like everything is always just beginning
Life an ever-new horizon
On the verge of something
Meaningful and beautiful and true
But what’s the point of trying anything
When failure is a given
You’ve already seen the movie
It’s all been done nothing’s new

You’re afflicted by the truth
False nostalgia for your youth
Raised by wolves or the TV
No one taught you how to be
Drugs are candy for your head
Can’t remember what you said
Money’s not the same as love
But you just can’t get enough

Your mother leaves you hanging
And your father always lets you down
You’ll punish them by staying
In this godforsaken little town

And you know that you’re a burnout and a loser
Can’t imagine any future
But the kind you see in movies
Post-apocalyptic dawn
So you hang out in your bathrobe
Your before looks like your after
You can’t help but think that
All this will go on and on and on

You’re afflicted by the truth
False nostalgia for your youth
Raised by wolves or the TV
No one taught you how to be
Drugs are candy for your head
Can’t remember what you said
Money’s not the same as love
But you just can’t get enough

Pour champagne in your OJ
Breakfast is the only meal
Go score a little Oxy
Cause you love the way it makes you feel

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
