Get Good or Get Got

by Dwarf Cannon

/
  • Cassette + Digital Album

    Limited run of 60

    Type II Chrome high bias tape lovingly dubbed in real time by Matt. Includes the pink colored brick pattern cassette and a single panel color J-Card insert. All of this is housed compactly inside of a rose pink/clear plastic case, and is tightly shrink wrapped to keep the freshness inside. Includes a bonus acoustic version of one of the songs, available only on the cassette!

    We have ten copies in stock here at the label, Dwarf Cannon has the other 50 available to purchase from them at shows or off their bandcamp: dwarfcannon.bandcamp.com



    Tape's cost a dollar because that's the lowest bandcamp will let us make it... Otherwise, spending money beyond that first dollar on any of the tapes on our bandcamp is entirely up to you! We just have to charge for any shipping costs, so invite us over to hangout instead and we'll bring your tape along.

    Also, we're aware a couple release numbers have been skipped in as this tape is labeled as MTR-009... Whatever man, don't be so critical. 007 and 008 are on their way, they just needed a little extra time in the oven.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Get Good or Get Got via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

I can't be what I wanna be That person in all my dreams. And I can't see what I wanna see 'Cause there's death and lies on the T.V. screen 'Cause I know how to hope And I've felt true love But that don't make me happy I'm sick and I'm tired of feeling alone Even when, I'm with my friends And I want to believe myself When I try to say, Everything will be okay And it's not 'Cause I know how to hope And I've felt true love But that don't make happy 'Cause I'm sick and I'm tired of feeling alone Even when, I'm with my friends 'Cause I know how to hope And I've felt true love But that don't make happy 'Cause I'm sick and I'm tired of feeling alone Even when, I'm with my friends

I use to think that I was strong Until I found myself, Crying in the rain out on my lawn I use to think that you were wrong Now I understand the way things work And I get why you're gone I can't blame you Should have never from the start It's so easy to In matters of the heart Now i think a lot each night 'Cause we're apart And it probly doesn't help And now I can't cry unless it's out of anger I feel like I'm becoming a danger To myself or a passing stranger Who just happens to look my way I can't figure out why I'm like this Maybe I should see a psychiatrist I'm afraid that they might just Tell Me Something I don't already know Deep down, well, I don't really know Deep down that I, I don't really know Deep down, well, I don't wanna know (FRiCKING SICK GUITAR SOLO OMG HE IS ROCKING W O W !!) I use to think there was a reason I use to think there'd be a rhyme I use to think our love was seasonal And the fact that its not is just a crime I tend to think that I'm an asshole And often times I know it's true Well the only time I'd ever feel alright Was at night lying next to you Now i try to find A way to fall asleep But at this rate My weary eyes won't get a wink Now i stay awake 'Til 5 AM and drink And it probly doesn't help benh wenh weoh

Well I could be more clear about How things aren't really working out for me But I've listened to people complain and rant, If that's how we fix this then I can't agree I feel like you do, When you're too cool to talk to me Take a break from, Acting like you're actually happy Take a break from, Trying not to disappoint me I feel like you do, When it's you I can't please All these things that we're worried about They only come out when we're talking in our sleep All these dreams of our teeth falling out, I'm starting to doubt that we'll ever learn to speak I can't be bothered to solve all your problems You can't be bothered to let some things go Can't be bothered to shut up about this, You can't be bothered admitting you feel alone (gentle) I can't believe You can't see what I see (sill v much gently) I can't believe You can't see what i see (NOW WITH ALL OF YOUR FEELS YELL IT) I CAN'T BELIEVE, YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT I SEE

Dirt Nap 03:27
Baby boomers tell me I'm just fine But I got two cents in my bank account, literally all the time and I don't play with fire enough, to burn down any bridges But you destroyed them anyway, to build a pyre for the witches And I found myself buried in crap You're never too young to take a dirt nap And I found myself buried in crap You're never too young to take a dirt nap And when the world comes crashing down No one even seems to care at all Millennial like me all seem sad and depressed It's a hassle in the morning just to simply get dressed There's a job out there, and we're all running pretty late It's hard to make a living when you hardly get paid And I found myself buried in crap You're never too young to take a dirt nap And I found myself buried in crap You're never too young to take a dirt nap And when the world comes crashing down No one even seems to care at all And I don't care if you're not sorry I don't care if you're not sorry I don't care if you're not sorry I'll forgive you And I don't care if you're not sorry I don't care if you're not sorry I don't care if you're not sorry I'll forgive you

Hokey Pokey 03:11
Well I became a person, And probably the worst one to be But it ain't me 'Cause I've got no true sense of self- worth- -while days seem like a dream, And I can't tell what that may mean; With fields of green and a deep blue sea 'Cause it's all where it's supposed to be but not me I don't know if I'm lost I just know this isn't it, This can't be it- There's got to be more I don't know if I'm lost I'm just starting to feel unsure So clap along, Another year and you're still going strong, You're not the only one who ever worried that You might never make it this long In all your dreams Tall palm trees For now you're where you're supposed to be, Someday you'll see I don't know if I'm lost I just know this isn't it, This can't be it- There's got to be more I don't know if I'm lost I'm just starting to feel unsure I always thought that when I was older I always thought that I'd have more composure, I always thought that you'd lend me a shoulder, I always thought that the world won't get colder- But I was wrong

I have dreams, Not when I'm sleeping though They don't come at night, Just when i feel vulnerable These big (fword) dreams That make me feel like a (Gosh dang) psycho The world we've been promised Should be so much more beautiful I dream someone loves me, Share dreams with my friends, I dream that I'm happy And it's not just pretend, I dream I'll wake up soon And everything will be different Too bad we won't be remembered For who we could have been I just hope when it's over, That won't be the end 'Cause I've got so much to do, And so much to say, And each passing moment Feels like one slipping away, So I'll sieze the day, Whether or not I'm ready I have dreams, Guess that's what makes me feel vulnerable These dreams just scare me 'Cause I don't know if they're achievable Maybe a dream is just a dream And hope isn't real The folds on my brain feel like They're starting to peel So I'll get to sleeping, It keeps me from dreaming though

It gets easier every day, Every day is just the hard part Some people leave and people pass away That is one of the most sad parts Some people live out all of their days Without once showing their true heart We could all soon see a brighter day If we could stick true to our own hearts There must be a reason to survive No longer fighting tooth & nail To greet the day with a genuine smile A brand new attitude as well How long can we avoid blaming ourselves before we really do believe it? How far can someone know somebody else Before they're quite ready to leave 'em? Or is it entirely in ourselves, For giving reason to deceiving? If love can't find your heart, then just who can? Running in circles like the seasons There must be a reason to survive No longer running hoof & tail Before these tarpits swallow me alive Or are those tarpits in myself? Everyday i grow stronger in the belief that it gets easier every day (If you wanted the simple life, then you'd already have it, you'd already have it) x like 4 or something idk use yr ears

I would say you're like a ray of sunshine, But I'm more fond of rainy days And I can't say that it's such a bad thing, I guess it's always been that way And I would say that we should have a good time, but I don't want some fairy tale I would like to love what you bring, Even if that horse if very pale And all of it is all of it, always When I think about what's balanced out or what it all weighs; Heavy hearts see heavy hearts as proteges They constellate every trait, and then stargaze I would say you're like a shooting star, But those only come and go They say variety is the spice of life, I seem to love what I don't know I would say you're more like the night skies holding everything in place We can reminisce about the emptiness that we left to the hands of time and space And all of it is all of it, always When I think about what's balanced out or what it all weighs; Heavy hearts see heavy hearts as proteges They constellate every trait, and then stargaze (OH WOOOOOW ROB LOOK AT YOU SOLOING OH WOOOW YOURE SO COOL, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANNA HEAR ROB? GET GOOD BUD, HOW ABOUT THAT?)

I brace myself as I walk through the door Expecting the worst, just like each time before I wanna do things right this time around, Can't build it up just to break back down And be found on the ground A hot, broken mess My own mind is a hostage Held under duress What does this mean? (What does this mean?) What do I see? (What do i see?) In the eyes of my own reflection, Just another false perception What do you say? (What do you say?) Will it be okay? (Will it be okay?) Let go all of my aggression, Ignore every bad intention Or will things stay the same? Brand new day, Same old space Searching for feelings that can't be replaced Like hot summer breezes, kissing your face Cold winter memories, fading away All of these fleeting moments that We wish would stay But will be Found on the ground A hot, broken mess Emergency systems! This is not a test! What does this mean? (What does this mean?) What do I see? (What do i see?) In the eyes of my own reflection, Just another false perception What do you say? (What do you say?) Will it be okay? (Will it be okay?) Let go all of my aggression, Ignore every bad intention Or will things stay the same?

Pep Talk 02:24
Someday I'll be happy, Someday I'll be happy, I won't have to ask For anything, anymore. If I say that I'm happy, If I say that I'm happy, I'll convince myself That I'm not, insecure. If I say that I'm happy, If I say that I'm happy, I'll convince myself That I'm not, insecure or so unsure, anymore. (OH, SO WHAT KEN, YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS SOLO, HUH? NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR HARASSMENT, EH? ID SAY IT'S PRETTY NOT BAD DUDE! A GOOD CLOSER JUST AS INTENDED!)
