THE LYRICS:
Never
did I think that I’d see the day
When I could honestly say
If I feel like this at 22 I don’t wanna see 25
In fairy tales
The process of aging was fun
People who are proud of what they have done
The adults I know are only happy
When they are getting drunk
There’s a man on the corner
And he says to me
Chorus:
It’s a bad bad bad bad season
It’s a mad mad mad mad season
Give me one give me one
Give me one reason
Why anyone would want to bring kids
Into this mess
Is he wrong is he right?
I spent
Christmas Eve
Stuck at a WalMart store
Cleaning somebody’s shit
Off of the floor
Never felt so dehumanized
When a man in a shirt and tie said
“This is OUR mess
Merry Christmas…goodnight”
Now
I’m stuck in a mirror
Staring at the bald spot
On the back of my head
Remember when I said
“If I ever look like my grandfather
Did before he died
I’d rather be dead”
I think back to what the old man said.
I cannot turn him away
That might be me someday
Repeat Chorus
That’s
when they said
“Love your life"
