lyrics

MY NEW YEAR'S PLAN
TRYING TO BE AN HONEST MAN
SO HERE IT GOES
EVER SINCE I’VE BEEN SIX
LIVE IN MY OWN SHIT PISS VOMIT
HEARD IT ALL
DRUG ADDICT ALCOHOLIC
BUT FUCK WHAT YOU ALL HAVE TO SAY
STATISTICS I’VE BEEN READING
BY THE TIME I REACH 50
IN JAIL OR PUSHING UP DAISIES
SO WHY NOT JUST EXPLODE
BUT MY ONE TRUE HOPE
FALL IN LOVE
STAY IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD
BUT EVERY YEAR I’M COMING BACK
TO THE SOUTH END
BATTERED BEATEN LORD KNOWS I’D BE DEAD
IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY ACHILLES HEEL
THAT LOVE
BUT DON’T Y’ALL GET IT TWISTED
STILL REVEL IN MY OWN BLOOD
AND FROM ASHES HEARTS AND TONGUES
EVERYONE I LAID EYES ON
BUILDING UP THAT MONUMENT
MY HEART MY DAGGER
I KNOW I WILL DEFEND IT
TILL THE STATE THEY COME AROUND AND BULLDOZE IT

ALL ACROSS THE CENTURIES
EVERYBODY GOING TO EXTREMES
HOLDING ON TO THE SAME OLD DREAMS
AND THEN THERE'S ME RISING UP FOR THE GOLDEN CUP
COME ON I'M JUST TRYING TO GET FUCKED UP
FALL INTO THE RHYTHM OF OBLIVION
AND MAYBE YOU’LL FALL IN LOVE WITH ME AGAIN
WE COULD BE NOSE TO SKIN
UNDER THE ARCHWAY
THE KITCHEN SINK MY BROKEN TEETH
UNDERNEATH THE SKIES BLACK GRIN
THE STARS ALL SHOOTING HEROIN
