Brett Gurewitz - Vanity lyrics

I'll strike it if I don't like it Gimme a club and I will have myself a riot I'm a monkey with a brick on my shoulder And I'm getting bolder Let's deny and defame Let's destroy and recreate in our glorious name And when the joke of our centrality is upon us Grovel and decry Our vanity Disgraced to face our own humanity In a world that mocks our tragedy Hyper-aware and impaired Terrified by nature's mocking stare Yearning for significance beyond our animal kin On which we do depend Such vanity Isolated with our own inanity Entangled by our callow gravity Disgraced to face our own humanity
