I've worked exclusively as a musician since i was 15 years old. People often ask me when I'm gonna "grow up" and take life more seriously. This song is a cry of frustration.

lyrics

Go to college get a job and settle down,
Find yourself a girl and have kids.
Don’t tell the neighbors what you’re thinking of.
Don’t you tell anybody what you did.

You kill me with your Rituals,
Kill me with your rituals,
Yeah you kill me with your Rituals,
Kill me with your Rituals.

Keep your head down, don’t stand out from the crowd.
Laugh at anybody who did.
Live for your humdrum Friday nights,
Keep acting like you’re getting into it.

You kill me with your Rituals,
Kill me with your Rituals,
Yeah you kill me with your Rituals,
Kill me with your Rituals.

How are you never sick and tired of the same old thing?
Can money ever really justify your suffering?

How are you never sick and tired of the same old thing?
Can money ever really justify your suffering?

Cause you kill me with your Rituals,
Kill me with your Rituals
Ah you hurt me with your Rituals
Would you spare me all your Rituals?

Cause you Kill me with your Rituals
Ah you hurt me with your Rituals
Never stopping with your Rituals
Would you spare me all your Rituals?

Yeah you kill me with your Rituals
Ah, Hurt me with your Rituals
Never changing with your Rituals
Would you spare me all the Rituals? Please?
