Week of Lyrics, Day 7: Unwritten Law "Save Me"

I have been an Unwritten Law fan ever since high school when their first self-titled album came out. They make great, upbeat, punk-rock music that can get you moving. To me they never seemed to get too deep with their lyrics, rather they stuck to fun topics. Which is why I was so surprised when I got back from Mozambique and heard their new single "Save Me" on iTunes. It was deep, upbeat, and an all-around great song.

After returning home from Mozambique, Africa, I went through some very difficult times, and this song was something that helped pick me up and keep me moving forward.

Had a bad day, don't talk to me,
I'm gonna ride this out,
My little black heart, breaks apart,
With your big mouth.

And I'm sick of my sickness
Don't touch me, you'll get this.
I'm useless, lazy, perverted,
And you hate me.

You can't save me,
You can't change me,
Well I'm waiting for my wake-up call,
And everything, everything's my fault.

Went to the doctor, and I asked her,
To make this stop. (whoa)
Got medication, a new addiction,
...thanks a lot.

I had a relapse, I'm back at rehab
It ruins everything. (whoa)
So point your finger, at the singer,
He's in the pharmacy.

You can't save me,
You can't change me,
Well I'm waiting for my wake-up call,
And everything's my fault.

You can't save me,
You can't blame me,
Well I'm waiting here to take a fall,
And everything, and everything's my fault.

And I'm a death threat haven't slept yet,
Baby why the wake up call
I'm the bad boy tell the tabloids
Everything's my fault.

Whoa whoa whoa yeah, write it, write it,
Whoa Whoa whoa everything's my fault,
Everything's my fault.

I went to heaven, but couldn't get in,
For what I have done.
I said forsake me, he said you're crazy
You had too much fun.

You can't save me,
You can't change me,
Well I'm waiting for my wake-up call,
And everything's my fault.

You can't save me,
You can't blame me,
Well I'm waiting here to take a fall,
And everything, everything's my fault.

You can't save me,
You can't change me, (everythings my fault)
You can't save me,
You can't change me, (everythings my fault)
You can't save me,
You can't change me, (everything's my fault)
You can't save me,
You can't change me,
Everything's my fault
