(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, a discordant hum
Felt a strange silence, where'd the racket come?
Then it hit me, like a clashing brass chord
"Oh, right, you're gone, you're ignored!"
No more your nagging, no more your tired drone
Just clear air, baby, now I'm on my own.
No long-winded breakup, no final decree
Just a sharp, sudden cut, and I'm finally free!
(Chorus)
Yeah, breaking up? That's a slick, easy trick!
Slam the door shut, real fast, real quick!
No drawn-out goodbyes, no lingering ache
Just a clean, punk-rock split, for goodness sake!
This breakup's simple, a dissonant breeze
No getting on knees, no time for tears!
Just a swift, brutal motion, a broken guitar string
My heart's got nothing to sing!
(Verse 2)
My friends called later, with their sad, worried sighs
"Are you bruised, broken? Got tears in your eyes?"
I just cackled, a sharp, cynical sound,
"Heartbroken? Nah, just kicked a small stone around!"
Our "romance" was feedback, a shrill, jarring tone
Better off solo, absolutely alone!
A minor distraction, a fly in my beer
Now the stage is empty, crystal clear!
(Chorus)
Yeah, breaking up? That's a slick, easy trick!
Slam the door shut, real fast, real quick!
No drawn-out goodbyes, no lingering ache
Just a clean, punk-rock split, for goodness sake!
This breakup's simple, a dissonant breeze
No getting on knees, no time for tears!
Just a swift, brutal motion, a broken guitar string
My heart's got nothing to sing!
(Bridge)
Some fools crave the drama, the agony's roar
Crying into records, face down on the floor.
Me? I just trashed your old, faded band tee
And wondered if I'd finally learn to truly be free!
No time for mourning, no time for regret's sting
Just crank up the volume, let the new chaos begin!
My heart's no fragile drum, it's a solid beat
Ready to smash on, can't be beat!
(Chorus)
Yeah, breaking up? That's a slick, easy trick!
Slam the door shut, real fast, real quick!
No drawn-out goodbyes, no lingering ache
Just a clean, punk-rock split, for goodness sake!
This breakup's simple, a dissonant breeze
No getting on knees, no time for tears!
Just a swift, brutal motion, a broken guitar string
My heart's got nothing to sing!
(Outro)
So long, farewell, a discordant yell!
No looking back, just ringing the bell!
For this new freedom, loud and so bright!
Easy, dirty, out of my sight!
Yeah, easy, filthy, feeling so right!
Drama's done, goodnight!
