The Ramblin´ Boys Of Pleasure

Lawrence Arms (The)
(album: The Greatest Story Ever Told)

A million times a day I try to fail or fail to try.
It´s an easy way to live. It´s a lifeless way to die.
I used to hear "Son, you´ve got a lot to learn."
I used to hear a lot... like the slow dull burn
Of paper and tobacco and the bad breath smoke singin´
"Hey man, lemme tell you a joke."
"Well what´s attached to a leash that it made itself?"
"The punchline is the way that you´ve been fuckin´ yourself."

Sit down, shut up. It´s a long ride yet.
I´m here to show you something not easy to forget.
It´s a bird, it´s a plane, it´s a goddamn shame.
One day until retirement. It was God´s way.

I´m ready or not. You´re here, i come.
There´s tears on my cheeks (there´s tears on my cheeks) from being so dumb.

There´s proof painted on the roof and it´s rainin´ and i hate it
i hate it
i hate it
i hate it
