A million times a day I try to fail or fail to try   It's an easy way to live, it's a lifeless way to die   I used to hear, "Son, you've got a lot to learn"   I used to hear a lot...like the slow, dull burn   Of paper and tobacco and his bad breath smoke   Singin' "Hey man, lemme tell you a joke"   "Well what's attached to a leash that it made itself?"   "The punchline is the way that you've been fucking yourself."      Sit down, shut up, it's a long ride yet   I'm here to tell you something that's not easy to forget   It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a goddamned shame   One day until retirement, it was God's way      I'm ready or not   You're here I come   There's tears on my cheeks   There's tears on my cheeks   From being so dumb      There's proof painted on the roof   And it's raining, and I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it   (x4)      Things have changed forever   We're the ramblin' boys of pleasure   Things have changed, things have changed forever   We're the ramblin' boys of pleasure   (x2)
