	Story Behind the Song My first, full-length song. I'm rilly, rilly proud of it. Heh. This song was written on the back of a manilla folder driving down 301 towards Waldorf, Maryland. I promise I wasn't speeding. Lyrics Petty Crime I have found that the heart of the matter ain't even about the heart anymore and when they're talking about their open door policy it has nothing to do with an open door I have found that the other hand has no clue what the feet are doing and when they tell you that God is watching they forget to mention it's pay-per-viewing I tried a dictionary, encyclopedia I even tried my handy thesaurus but no matter where I looked I couldn't do better than the word complicated for us since no one seems to have any idea what's going on, on any day I figure it doesn't matter if we're totally clueless as to what we're doing or trying to say this time chorus: Because Warhol had 25 cats named Sam and Dr. Suess had green eggs and ham you never knew who I am and I'm beginning to think you never gave a damn God had his billion disciples and the NRA has its ammo and rifles all I have are my everyday trifles like water and gas and overdue light bills but it's all right, I'll be over it soon forgetting seems better than sleeping till noon yes it's all right, I'll be over it some time forgetting seems better than toeing the line I have found that no strings attached usually means no benefits too and behind the smile of a politician is do as I say, not as I do' and I have found in a sticky situation I'm usually left with the smoking gun and the loudest one laughing in the room is the only person not having fun I have found that when you say love you mean a mutually beneficial relation and I have found that when you say time you mean a no-return, one-way ticket vacation but since no one seems to care about us I figure I shouldn't even bother to care about the way things are going in my own life or the fact that you've run off to God knows where this time chorus forgetting seems better than petty crime
