I'm dirty and I'm tired and I'm hungry and I'm broke & David doesn't like the lyrics that I wrote I've got a few dreams but for them I've no hope I am the happiest man I know My phone has been dead for twenty something odd days & each single one I spent in more of a haze my eyes have adopted a permanent glaze I am back to my old ways I'm so glad you're all here I'm so glad you came Best chance I'll ever get to clear up my name If things had been different, they'd not be the same Well I sound so goddamned lame Clock's ticking down I just hope I don't choke Easy thing to do all these sad songs and smokes & Leland doesn't like the lyrics that I wrote I am Tired of my own jokes

You know a lot about politics & I know a lot about nothing But you had a teacher & I guess that I'm just good at blushing Was any of it ever true? Or was I just an easy person to apologize to? You talked until your face turned blue I think I was just your substitute & I am frightened About who will come next What will they think about me I have an opinion on every ex Well I can't wait to move out Onto the streets or Noonan's couch That's my only way out It was always It was always your house Remember the day we went to the river? You convinced me to bring my guitar I liked you enough to look like a douchebag Now I like you enough but not where you are 'Cause you are above me And you always will be You stay there just for fun 'Cause you, you, you... Remember the day we went to the graveyard? I got drunk & fell off of my bike I think that was the first day that I loved you & About the only one I liked It's hot and I hate everything I'm always hurt or in my head But the weather is not changing & We, we are all dead but that's just immature, it's just plain juvenile at least I got a direction, not just on the run but you were waitin' to say it for awhile 'cause you, you, you... I've been a whiny little bitch Since the day you left & I've had cigarette smoke coming in and out of every breath I cannot believe That I'm still singing this song From the way I've been complaining you would think that something's actually wrong (and that'll come later) Let's call it a night Maybe call it a year At least call it an end to what Nobody wanted to hear 'Cause there is nothing profound In anything I've spoken & there is nothing unique in getting your heart broken I'm sorry If you ever hear this

I used to want to be a boy scout Three fingers up I'd want to say no, though I'd love to, I've obligations and such Now I take anything 'gets passed around, Shovel it all in my mouth 'till I feel the ground My friends complain I'm nowhere to be found See now I want to be a gangster With both middle fingers up I want to rob banks and say things like I don't give a Fuck Which Scorsese movie ended up doing me wrong? To make me want to live like it's the end of the song I don't believe I was ever that strong Well I want it I want it ??? (something about Mick Jagger) I'm sorry I did that It's not something you take back I'm sorry my friend & I'm sorry that I'll do it again

All these goddamned creeps! Still losing sleep Over him over her for you and for me If I had my way I'd make 'em see There's a way to be away There's a way to not be To not be! I'm gonna drink your milkshake! Well she can't watch that movie anymore. 'Cause every single night she's drinkin' or she's cryin' on the floor Well it's been six months and he's still fuckin' with her head I want him dead I want him dead I want him dead I want him dead I want him dead Dead (*)

Country Song 02:57
I miss my baby Every single day & By the night time the feeling Still ain't gone away I've gotta find a job again this one's running out I've gotta stop getting drunk so much I've gotta sleep but not pass out Oh, Mom and Dad, I don't know where you went wrong But your boy's grown up to be a Country song I had a plan I had a dream I had the glow I had the gleam Well, the plans they all caught fire & the dreams they turned to ash & the Microphones never made as much Money as Johnny Cash When I was just a young boy My Mpmma told me, son, Always be a kind soul, don't you ever hurt no one, Well I, I was doing pretty good! I was doing just fine! Then reality caught up & changed my mind Now I'm Shit out of luck Shit out of everything I need I need love I need money I need whiskey I need beer I need A job that gets me enough to put me in the clear I need girls I need sex I need something to make me less derpressed I need more money I need more money I need more money So I can buy some weed & Some dinners To take girls on dates So I don't have to masturbate I don't want to jack off I want to get laid Take her home to my folks say hey I'm doing great

Roll Credits 03:07
I'm getting horns I feel 'em growing I'm hoping the difference in my midriff Ain't showing If it is I'll try my best to just fake it While I repeat "Hey guys, we're all gonna make it". I can't be happy I won't allow it Something good comes my way Try my best to disembowel it It's in my nature makes me run around naked While I repeat "Hey guys, we're all gonna make it!" & Everybody wants to get up early Well I've got problems I've no name for But I want everything that's in this world Just so long as it's already paid for Because money don't come easy But hey man, at least I do You need motivation Need motivation to walk in this world with a grin My motivation? I find in the pile of shit I'm in There's no need to worry You can't fall far when you're always on the floor Give me failures give me disappointments Give me tragedy on tragedy I'll tell you that I want more I want more

People Having Fun People Having Fun People drink their drinks, People get too drunk People in the bathroom People at the door "Hey, can I get some more?" People hating people throwing up People go to parties People go to church People go out dancing People gotta work People make decisions People get 'em wrong People still play along People making People throwing up People having fun People having fun People having fun People having fun People hating people throwing up & People thrown out Makes people want to die I think we'll all go to hell 'Cause we drink too much & we don't speak well We are the rowdiest troupe of rogues that you've ever seen Watch us sit around and pretend we're smart While we laugh at other people's art & Sometimes we're nice, but mostly we're mean Now all my friendships they just feel so wrong We're only hanging out here 'cause somebody's gone & I was unhappily unsurprised to find out it was true I've been faking sick, I've been losing sleep & it's nice enough to make a man weep But I don't weep, how 'bout you? People having fun People having fun People eating food & hugging everyone People telling stories People telling lies People drink their drink & People dry their eyes People having fun we're really having fun Just watch us jump for joy & Watch us love your gun I swear to god you guys we're Really having fun That statement goes for everyone & I am an asshole For even bringing this up There's people in this audience More affected by all of this 'stuff' But I had to do something & I'm sorry it's a song I told you fuckers earlier There would be something actually wrong & by the time I'm twenty five There'll be an overdose, another suicide But I'm along for the ride

'Cause if I'm not playing shows at a half filled bar or getting kicked out when I take it too far I'm going back to school & I'm selling my guitar Bye, boys, bury me in the backyard & have fun Such fun So who's going in on a bag of bad blow? Let's do it all before we even hit the show Don't know about you but that's what I call rock 'n' roll All the squares in the back all going "No, no, no, no, no, no" Have fun Such fun I hope everyone here dies of natural causes Or at least cancer or AIDS or the plague or some other disease A car accident could even work Just so long as it's nothing that'd ever give others some peace & now I'm always nervous when I should be at ease 'Cause you never know the next time you're going to be saying "No, please" & I just wish in the end that there was somebody else to blame & I just wish he didn't believe that that's what he became & I was doing my best to leave out all of the names But it's the names & the faces that keep me from doing the same I remember David calling me and asking if I heard something weird I remember calling Leland 'cause I figured that he'd want to hear I remember asking Jack, "Is what I just heard true?" He texted back "Yeah dude." I remember joking with Noonan & every joke it turned to a riot I remember Kat walking in, the room got so fucking quiet I remember Walt wailing, "He was everybody [there's] best friend!" I remember Pete going "I know" again and again This'll happen again and again
