lyrics

OH MY GOD!!

I'm gonna find me a preacher who can teach me to pray
I'll beg forgiveness for my misguided ways
I'm gonna find me a woman and follow her to heaven
because it's quarter past eleven; I've been sinning all day

But hey,
It doesn't really matter what I say anyway
I tell myself a million lies a million times a day
You tell so many lies yourself you look the other way
But anyway

You say every once in a while we sell ourselves out
You've got your reasons, meanwhile
me, I just did it for the money
I did it for the money

I've got sins of the father
I'll drown myself in holy water just to wash the remnants away
I've lived pedal to the metal so long I never settled
Now I'm running from the devil like I'm Ichabod Crane

But hey,
And now I've burned through my excuses like they're kerosene
You see the pale ghosts of my dead hopes when you look at me
I look at you, to tell the truth, I don't see anything
An empty thing

You say every once in a while we sell ourselves out
Settle for a Coke and a smile
Me, I just did it for the money
I did it for the money
You say every once in a while we sell ourselves out
Settle for a Coke and a smile
Me, I just did it for the money

Sonic Detour Saint John, New Brunswick

Blending the aggression of metal, the energy of nu metal, and the sour rawness of punk rock, Sonic Detour sounds like a rusty transmission kicking into high gear. And it works. Their self-titled debut EP, full of jagged guitar riffs and infectious hooks, navigates seamlessly between songs that can be unapologetically ferocious, brazenly provocative, and sometimes even heartfelt.
