Marty - Five Iron Frenzy

Marty was a punk rocker 
he went to all the shows 
Patches on swiss army pants 
and two rings in his nose 
He had an old nash rambler 
no insurance not much gas 
and a dancing hula girl that bobbled on his dash 
Feeling kind of stupid 
One day he broke down 
he drove his ugly car to the edge of town 
he sunk it in the quarry 
just because he could 
and cause the rear defroster never worked too good 

Marty where you going 
whatcha going to? 
whats the point in not conforming 
if it changes you? 
When this woorld runs out of answers 
would you even know 
Does the truth have any bearing on which way you go? 

He took the bus to Santa Cruz 
he hitchkhiked to LA 
a preacherman picked him up 
and drove him half the way 
he said theres two kinds of people that ive met 
those who ask the questions 
and those who dont ask questions yet 
then he turned asking marty 
which one that he thought he was 
Marty shrugged and shook his head 
forgetting what the question was 
you'd do almost almost anything someone told you not to do 
just because someone else told you it was cool 
remember long ago when someone said get a life 
did you ever think they might be right 

Marty was a rebel never had a cause 
it may be stupid and cliche 
but thats because he was 
he spent his whole life straying from the norm 
he was neither hot or cold 
just boring and lukewarm 
it didnt seem to bother him 
he didnt seem to mind 
his cathartic life 
just buried somewhere in the timeline
