lyrics

Said I was in it for the long ride
Maybe not a long time
But I let myself go
I found some closure in the kitchen
Where I make decisions
And get takeaway to go

They said I gotta do my taxes
What the hell are faxes
And why does hair go grey
You mean it goes something like this
Misery is righteous
Does someone know the way

Day by day we push away
The candles on our birthday cake
We kick and scream; "why me oh me"
As if we don’t need therapy

You read a book
That says you’ll die
Just by the age of 35
So pour some tea
The jokes on me
I guess I'll just build the marquee

Even at your best dressed
Wrinkles hard to digest
With no one else to blame
And you worry 'bout a blood test
And the pain In your chest
It’s all time down the drain
You don't know, you don’t know anything
Sleep well and rest up your hamstring
We all grow, we all grow for something
All or nothing

Day by day we push away
The candles on our birthday cake
We kick and scream; "why me oh me"
As if we don’t need therapy
You read a book
That says you’ll die
Just by the age of 35
So pour some tea
The jokes on me
I guess I'll just build the marquee

You know don’t, you don’t know anything
Sleep well and rest up ya hamstring
You don’t show, you don’t show your G-string
Tell Bob you worked on your back swing

Day by day we push away
The candles on our birthday cake
We kick and scream; "why me oh me"
As if we don’t need therapy
You read a book
That says you’ll die
Just by the age of 35
So pour some tea
The jokes on me
I guess I'll just build the marquee

We all grow, we all grow for something
You don't owe, you don't owe me nothing
