The Rambling Boys Of Pleasure Tab

by Lawrence Arms


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 the 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 fuckin' yourself."

                               
             Sit down, shut up. It's a long ride yet.
                                                
             I'm here to show you something thats not easy to forget.
                                                             
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a goddamn 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 rainin' and i hate it
i hate it
i hate it
i hate it
