Hello Lamewads!

This song is one of my newest favorite songs and so I thought I’d share the lyrics with you. Part of what I love about this song is the fact that I was acting this way for a while at Cornell and I could have used a song to point out how ridiculous I was being. It’s about trying just hard enough to not be the worst. For a while I just wanted to get the curve. Then I realized how bad that was. I needed to strive for the absolute best and never settle with being on the curve. The lyrics are great and Reese proves once again why he has a legion of fans.

“Hello Lamewads” by Roper

Feel the burn and the fury of my pen feel the fire, as I fan the flames again brace yourself for the mediocre Hail the king of the almost good enough nothing bold, nothing’s flying off the cuff things might change, but don’t hold your breath yet Try floating with the flow, try not to run too slow be average, not below, Let’s go

[Chorus:] Hello lamewads, I’m with you raise your fists if this rings true Hello lamewads, never quite our best or finest hello lamewads, I’m predicting a C minus, now.

Hello lamewads, hello. Like a shoelace slowly coming loose like a flashlight running out of juice save your necks, with some lame excuses I’m neither friend or foe, I’m never going pro does this sound apropos? Let’s go.

Niether hot nor cold this is getting old.
