lyrics

Played three chords a day as I pissed away what they said was education
I say standard evaluation
And I'm going to write about it
I'm gonna write about it, now.
Smoked three bowls away on a garbage day
Looking out the window I hear mama say
Hey son, you don't wanna be like them.
Well, maybe I do
I hear they pay you quite a bit of money
She didn't think that was funny when I said
Remember what you told me back a year or three
You said hey there son be what you wanna be
But that's so contradictory to what you just told me
And I said hey mama
Maybe I wanna write a wrong or write a song about the earth and the sky
Or maybe the sun
Or maybe about the bottle
I just broke my tongue and I won't write home home if you don't leave me alone.
Your love is all around because you break it up so sweet
When it hits the ground it just climbs right back up your feet
And when there's nothing left everyone scrambles for a piece
I want somebody to save the day before I got nowhere to stay
Because I got some wishing left to do on this earth
And I won't give up on you and it hurts to know
That everything you want ain't the way it goes and I'm all alone
Hey there son be what you wanna be
But that's so contradictory to what you just told me
And I said hey mama
Maybe I wanna write a wrong or write a song about the earth and the sky
Or maybe the sun
Or maybe about the bottle
I just broke my tongue and I won't write home home if you don't leave me alone
And I've got two words that I forgot to say
That I forgot to say
