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 a lot 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."
(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.
 (bend
 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
Things  have changed  forever.
We're  the ramblin'  boys  of pleasure.
Things  have changed  things have changed  forever.
We're  the ramblin'  boys of pleasure.
 Things have changed, things have changed forever
 We're the ramblin' boys of pleasure
