Would you hook a brother up and smoke a brother out? I've got nowhere else to go. Could you tell another tale of how your life's messed up? Because I know it isn't. I'm sad So sad And no one could ever relate to me I'm done waiting Is anyone even listening? It's just a feeling so we'll let it go and never let it reveal who we are I'm just another one who got away, no, got betrayed Off guard Oh darn And I'm writing this to tell you that I'm pissed at you and everyone I know And I'm right here, and you're not there for me You're in another world, we know We know that you're perfect and all Would you hook a brother up and smoke a brother out? I've got nowhere else to go Could you tell me another tale of how your life's messed up? Because I know it isn't. I'm dead So dead This place has left me with nothingness I'm done living with all of this hatred and bitterness Well that's not the way it was supposed to be Last May, you know exactly what I mean Oh but it's okay, I'm going on with my own sad, depressing life And I've got ten bucks you've got a sawn off shotgun somewhere in that dress And I'll let it slide after I solve my own loneliness Would you hook a brother up and smoke a brother out? I've got nowhere else to go Could you tell me another tale of how your life's messed up? Because I know it isn't. I'm sad I'm sad So sad And no one could ever relate to me I'm done waiting Is anyone even listening? Would you hook a brother up and smoke a brother out? I've got nowhere else to go And as for all the rest, it's really not that bad At least I hope it isn't

Do you miss walking down Geary Street with your mom going to buy some Upper Playground t-shirts? We don't even get street cred for wearing that shit no more. Taking your morning piss at the Muni bus stop cause your roommate's passed out in the shower again. Do you sit tonguing the root pulled fresh to make room for your new acrylic front tooth, wishing you could be at a third grade barbecue? You get hives from sporting short shorts in unkempt grass, feel bad about missing your last French class, and key every car with a personalized license plate, well I do. Another calcium deposit, another sign that I should take care of myself. I'll be honest man, my dreams ain't what they used to be. So after we have practice, I'll go sit up in the attic and rehearse the lines I've claimed as mine: Life is over when we say it is.
