Pabst - Crushed Lyrics

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you can love anybody else
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself

Don't let the bastards grind you down
Said the bastards while they pushed us to the ground
Don't let the hatred fill your heart
Said the haters while they filled us with distrust

It makes sense to bite the hand that feeds us all these insecurities
But my teeth are blunt and my conviction is weak

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you can fall in love with the rest of the world
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the most anxious of them all
Don't let them fool you into self-hate
Said while they turned self love into a catch-phrase

It makes sense to bite the hand that feeds us all these insecurities
But my teeth are blunt and my conviction is weak

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you can fall in love with the rest of the world
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you're getting crushed by the weight of the world
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself
You gotta have a crush on yourself, have a crush on yourself
