lyrics
Dad said “Son, you’re really bustin' my balls man,
With this shit that you do,"
Said “I know dad, it’s true,"
And I’ll try,
But I just keep on losin',
And my body it aches,
And my mind, it’s a-bruisin'.
I wish It would stop but it won’t,
So pack up your bags and get out cuz your freedom’s a joke!
Two choices left,
And neither one’s right,
Tell Mr. Janasko, I’m comin' to play outside.
What if love is the root of all misery?
Cuz you think that it’s won,
Then it’s gone and it’s empty,
And returns,
In the form of a ghost man,
Who likes stickers and leaves,
And he smokes in his ghost van.
Tells me that life’s but a dream,
You can make it your own, or surrender to forces unseen!
Head knows what’s up,
But brain isn’t down,
If you’re lookin' for placid existence just turn around.
Nothin' is real anymore,
Concrete is cracked and the seams are all torn,
Nothing is gonna last,
Cuz Barack and Monsanto keep fuckin' us all in the ass!
Will you wait for the day it’s all over?
Just enjoy what you can,
And thank God you’re not sober!
Or fight for some sort of extension,
Death may whisper to you,
But it’s your choice to listen.
Doc tells me I’m in good health,
Yet I’m standing here pacing,
And drinking and chasing,
And rambling on to myself!
