SPITE!

Written By Zoey Gulotta

I’m gonna spit in your coffee

Cough in your morning brew

Boss says I have to work, Fever 102

But it’s the spite that pulls me through

The spite that pulls me through

The bar man tells me “put down the news,

You need some time to think,

The city suffocates you”

But it’s the spite that pulls me through

The spite that pulls me through

Spite! (repeat)

Mr. Bar Man, there’s nothing good, so nothing new,

Nobody rides for free,

There’s no art to end that truth,

Do we ever have our youth?

Do we ever have our youth?

Man on the street asks me for something sweet

All I’ve got it spite,

But that’ll get you on your feet,

And soon enough they’ll see,

And soon enough they’ll see

Spite! (repeat)

You can run away, skip town, that’s no way to cope

Never trust a cowboy

With dollars flying out of his coat,

He wants to siphon all your hope

He wants to siphon all your hope

Boss, fire me, but if you do I’ll be missed,

Like a crow in the night

Reminding you of your consciousness,

You can see it in my eyes

You can see it in my eyes!

Spite! (repeat)
