lyrics

i can’t explain
but you won’t bother asking the right questions anyway
if you did you’d only end up rolling your eyes at me
better to go with the flow
when i am alone
i just play along

i don’t care whose side is wrong
i don’t care whose side i’m on
take it easy, take it all
take it easy, play along

how’d it ever get to this point?
i don’t understand
one too many times regretting everything that i said
one too many to count
what have i done?
should have just played along

peace and love is just an accident
peace and love is just a new fad
living off an old grudge that never mattered
keep it going, play along, on and on
or we could flip around and seesaw

peace and love is just an accident

Familiar
by Death of the Cool

This is the only cover album worth a damn. Industrial tunes by Izzy, the studio genius behind Peace & Love. I played some guitar on this. Father Octopus
