one is blame self first
one is condemn everyone
to cover up
so my mother once
tried to raise me protestant
already ready to start my long retirement
since collapse, i like to hobble
cross town and back
get all my ducks in a basket,
still make some time to paint
heard that's what classy ex-presidents
are doing these days

story of our generation:
less rage and more, "What'd i do wrong?"
I can't just play good cop
to your sad face or whatever
'cuz i'm in that position
in this particular conversation
lately, all i do is be patient,

so tell me, doctor,
"Perspective is a weird thing,
"don't you think?"
he said, "Nobody good as me."
man at the top singin'
the things we didn't see comin'
basically hit reset,
fresh start-land,
or something like it

need more smarts, man
maybe he'll just drift
"We can has a close relationship?"
back then, how was she convinced?
i suppose it didn't really matter
value my real friends
like the fam i never had,
then just silence

same story every time:
all american hustle
for peace of mind and pie,
i mumble lots and play all sides
hot shit, it's worn thin
pain always does
life is tough and gets busy
maybe i took it the wrong way,
at least it's entertaining

layin' low now
physical therapy as a hobby
basically, if i have a minute,
it's spent runnin' or watchin buffy
i want to retire on an island
and raise spiders for their silk
sell it to the national defense
also, applaud the jellyfish
aum

only if it makes you happy
once they put you on the list,
you'll be hangin' out with the Giz
bigger money and a nice ride,
i've almost been there many times
slow transition, at your leisure
free health insurance for the poor
is this corporate welfare at it's worst?
nah

look into guidelines, do research
to have a voice in policy
i mostly felt foolish
afterwards, spectator came up
to tell us how awesome it was
normally, i would just jump right in
