Hey, asshole |
|
See the sun is shining |
|
But you are not smiling |
|
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, |
|
And I don't know why. |
|
I'm an asshole |
|
'Cause the sun is shining |
|
But I am not smiling |
|
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, |
|
And I don't know why. |
|
I know I'm often told |
|
That there's a pot of gold |
|
But I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold |
|
I know I should be grateful |
|
I know I'm good and able |
|
But I don't have the strength |
|
to get up from the kitchen table |
|
This kind of shot comes once |
|
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away |
|
And that's the fifth this month |
|
but when you take a punch |
|
Don't you ever forget |
|
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next |
|
Got the power of my will |
|
I don't needa to win a mil |
|
But I'm looking at window sill |
|
Gotta take a bitter pill |
|
Gonna pay for what I did to my head |
|
and my heart'll foot the bill |
|
Got a foot in my mouth |
|
and because I'm kicking myse |
|
lf I developed a habit of knocking out my front tooth |
|
Looking uncouth |
|
want to hear the truth |
|
Give it to me straight |
|
151 proof |
|
Telling myself it'll happen |
|
when I'm happy |
|
but I'm climbing up a ladder |
|
that has got no end |
|
Hung up on a rung I'll never make it to the top, |
|
I'm looking at the bottom and I must descend |
|
All I want to do is buck this trend |
|
Everybody need a buck to spend |
|
And I'll be working on myself, |
|
til I work on someone else, |
|
til I get there I'ma just pretend |
|
I know I'm often told |
|
That there's a pot of gold |
|
But I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold |
|
I know I should be grateful |
|
I know I'm good and able |
|
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table |
|
This kind of shot comes once |
|
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away |
|

|
Don't you ever forget |
|
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next |
|
Hey, asshole |
|
See the sun is shining |
|
But you are not smiling |
|
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, |
|
And I don't know why. |
|
I'm an asshole |
|
'Cause the sun is shining |
|
But I am not smiling |
|
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, |
|
And I don't know why. |
|
When I'm in a crisis |
|
In a moment of silence |
|
I look under my eyelids |
|
And I'm checking my mileage |
|
I been using a pool of water as a mirror but not for style it's |
|
So I can reach in and pimp slap reflection my for acting childish, |
|
Spent a half an hour |
|
sitting at the bottom of my shower |
|
letting the water run over my body |
|
and damm it I wanted to get up |
|
but I didn't have the power |
|
I don't have the answers anyway yay yay yay yay |
|
Don't want to panic but I got to come clean |
|
because the plan of the planet is just mean |
|
Knew if was tough, but dammit it's obscene |
|
I been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit |
|
and I'ma rough it if I have enough steam |
|
I'll keep on coming and coming |
|
until I'm coming with the stamina of a salmon |
|
who's heading upstream |
|
Nah nah nah nah nah |
|
Nah nah nah nah nah |
|
Nah nah nah nah nah |
|
Hey, asshole |
|
See the sun is shining |
|
But you are not smiling |
|
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, |
|
And I don't know why. |
|
I'm an asshole |
|
'Cause the sun is shining |
|
But I am not smiling |
|
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, |
|
And I don't know why. |
