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 thats 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
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.
