about

The first single from the final Golden Seals LP entitled Something Isn't Happening, due out October 12, 2019.

lyrics

If you wanna see something
take a look at a list of mistakes that I've made
Like I never learned nothing
Like the time that I've had's all been pissed away

And I can see in the sunset
that the road from here on is more down than up
and I'm not given to hoping
but I hope that I've given you half enough

I've thought about leaving, but how would I go?
What's left to believe in?
I don't know

I'm an idiot, kid
I'm just an idiot kid I guess
I'm an idiot, kid
I'm just an idiot kid at best

To be totally honest
I don't think I can teach you a goddamned thing
but I'm here if you need me
and I'll try not to be too embarrassing

And if you can't revere me
at least let's don't fight
so long as you're near me, that's alright

I'm an idiot, kid
I'm just an idiot kid I guess
I'm an idiot, kid
I'm just an idiot kid at best
