lyrics

(brought to you by three generations of catholic guilt)

here he come dipshit choir boy
smoking wet from the fire and rain
the lord and the devil
brawling in his brain

struggling with a dying voice
old friends say it's a crying shame
that he'd have to
go completely insane

we put all of our faith in you kid
will you look at what you did
will you look at what you did

tried to talk him out of it
he broke the chain got swept away
twenty years of defeat
going off in his brain

said "i'll sure hit the motherlode
if you just let me play the game
think i could wrap my head
around the filthiness of fame"

i said i'd bet my bottom dollar on you kid
will you look at what you did
will you look at what you did

(...sooner or later we'll all be cold smoke...)
(...clothes smell really bad...)
(...poetry is very mediocre...)
(...people that you see in those old photographs...)
(...sober soul, don't need to be fixed...)
