lyrics

I want freedom not a boss that comes in a 40 oz bottle of anything
or taped scotch paper I eat junk food and steal from my friends
and don’t trust in the federal government to solve my problems
You might think I’m joking but fuck Bernie Sanders
Call me when your president pulls out of Afghanistan
cos that’s the day I’ll get a cellphone number
and you can call and leave a message on voicemail that day

and I look at myself and I look at my friends
and think what the hell happened we used to be so strong
but now there's a gap made by years of abuse
and I know we can't fix this and why would I want to?
I don't understand why the same guilty pleasures
keep making themselves known stay under the surface
and just let me focus on something important
Don't tear my heart open and leave me to question again

And can somebody tell me why something’s still missing
just tell me, I’ll listen - I don’t want to argue
You told me that this would be simple but now there’s a hole in my brain
and I can’t figure out what the first step would be
for me to set myself straight
and stop living this daydream I need your attention
to carry me through and lay me down softly
to bed and just tell me that everything’s gonna be fine

I fell asleep smoking so i’d wake up on fire
Cos that might get me out of bed for a while
and back into battle with the things that I breathe
like the pain in my knees and the way that I feel
and if freedom means doing what I want well that means
I gotta know what that is not just what it isn’t
so I’ll put on some porn and I’ll smoke up some trees
cos the world needs more pleasure
not more whiny fuckers like me

I got what I wanted but I have to tell you
that nothing is simple I have no excuses
You know I’m a liar and you know what I think
and if this is a nightmare then I’ll let you wake up
I’ll find me a bottle and drink myself stupid
I’ll yell at your friends and I’ll tell you I love you
and then you will know that you made the right choice
and Randy will smile as he tells me that nothing has changed

We're all compost in training
