Mine Is No Disgrace - Melvins

How does it feel to take the blame?

How does it feel to be behind the train?

Because you can take what you can get and ask for more

You never get what you deserve and that’s the score

Remember that the life you save may be your own

But when you’re bankrupt, you won’t get another loan

I hope that you’ll accept my sympathy

But understand I gotta think it’s better him than me

It’s better him than me

The chain is just as strong as its weakest link

When you endure the strain, it’s always later than you think

It’s later than you think

Resigned to a life of chronic celibacy

With fond memories and cheap pornography

God forbid I ever wanted intimacy

No more, that’s out of the door

God forbid I should feel

I know that ain’t real

But now I feel like I could rape a nun

And it’s always the first kiss that gets you drunk

That gets you drunk

So I keep a habit on her face

While I listen to that Yes song, Yours Is No Disgrace

Mine is no disgrace, no, no disgrace

How does it feel to fade away?

How does it feel to be beneath the train?

A life disguised behind a backwards mask

A little dignity is all I ask

Many people cross the beach and leave no trace

Well, I’m hoping for my footprints to remain

I know that ain’t real

Mine is no

Mine is no disgrace
