Well it’s another day in paradise. I’m stuck at home in my underwear with no where to go and I Turn on the tv to rot my brain to stop the pain of being useless to society Here I am, another day goes by, I might as well say goodbye to success in this life Sad as it may be to be me, I can’t help but smile in spite, of all of your useless degrees I~ No I don’t care No I won’t be bullied into your own paradigm of happiness Who the hell are you to say what makes me smile This is my life, you’ve got your own to do what you wanna do So please kindly shove off Yet another job has turned me down, I hear the sound of no rebound coming to save my ass And the girl I love has turned away, I felt like I’ve been led astray. But don’t think I’m crying now Here I am, another week goes by, I’ll kiss my chances goodbye. Chances of security. Sad as it may be to be me, I can’t help but smile in spite, of all of your stability I~ No I don’t care No I won’t be bullied into your own paradigm of happiness Who the hell are you to say what makes me smile This is my life, you’ve got your own to do what you wanna do So please kindly shove off I’ve had another chat with my father about what it means to be a man, and how can I live like I do Clearly I’ve no prospects of marriage and or happiness. Oh woe is he that mimics me Here I am another year goes by, I might as well bid goodbye, to happiness in this life Sad as it may be to be me, I can’t help but smile in spite, of all of your sympathy I~ No I don’t care No I won’t be bullied into your own paradigm of happiness Who the hell are you to say what makes me smile This is my life, you’ve got your own to do what you wanna do So please kindly shove off

You know I meant it when I said I didn’t want you in my life~ And though you promised you would leave, I can’t believe just how naïve I was that night You showed up again at my door at 4 am in the clothes you wore the eve before And asked for me to take you back, to ignore the sins of our torrid past. Just how long do you think that would last? Hell No! There was a reason for the things I said to cut you that deeply last night~ I’d never wanna see you cry. Indeed, instead I’d rather die than see the tears in your eyes But how can I get through to you? To let you see, we’re really though. We’re done~ I’m sick and tired of your schtick. It gets old really, really quick, I know! Just leave me alone! Hell No! I hope you see what I’m getting at. A relationship shouldn’t be tit for tat~ I promise you’ll find someone else. A better guy, in and of himself, who will treat you right Just please go and leave me alone. You’ve worn me right down to the bone at last~ I won’t be held responsible for all the hell you put me through just get out of my life! And to answer one more time: Hell no!

So you wanna hear a story, well I’ve got one for you Just remember my words, and whatever you do Never fall in love it’s a waste of time Forget what you seen in movies Forget what you read in books Relationships are filled with lies and dirty looks They’d rather see you dead before they see you smile I’m not saying that it’s all just a waste of time But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a grind Oh, it’s a crime, yeah! Perhaps you think that you’re different cuz you’re like nobody else Well let me tell you something your life will become Hell As soon as you agree to that misery The honeymooning will last all of maybe three days And after that you’ll regret the choice that you made I’m amazed that everyone still tries at all I’m not saying that it’s all just a waste of time But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a grind Oh, it’s a crime Trust me, you’ll make all the same mistakes that we’ve all made before Then finally you’ll see why love is such a chore Just hear me when I say that it ain’t worth your time But you won’t listen to me, you gotta screw up on your own So when you do just all me up. I already know I’ll meet you at the bar later on tonight. Then we’ll drink until we pass out on the floor And hit on anything that walks in through the door I’m not saying that it’s all just a waste of time But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a grind Oh, it’s a crime, yeah!

You know I wanna laugh all day Drink the night away with my closest friends and You say that they're a waste of time but hang on they're mine, not yours I'm not saying that you gotta love'em But we got a problem if you're gonna stop me from Goin out to make the poor decisions that I've envisioned tonight And I didn't really wanna go until you forbade me from Havin fun my way. Sorry but now I give a hoot About the forbidden fruit in the next room You know about my shitty week and how Little sleep I've been functioning on I could use a little memory chaser to erase the recent past Maybe we'll go out and start bar hopping, or end up stopping In the wrong part of town. Or maybe I'll pregame at home. End up passing out alone It doesn't really matter at this point It's almost like I wanna disappoint you now I'ma do what I wanna do. I'll joke, I'll drink, I 'll smoke if I want to! You call it self destructive, I call it stress reductive There's a bottle of gin within, that's full of sin That'll give me the grin that I've been waiting for all this time No you don't wanna listen to me whine So get on board, or get out of the way The Lads are here to play oh yes we're here to stay to play today! You know that I love you to death But this is a mess that I wanna wrestle with I could use a little liquid courage to discourage the pain Of the fact that I'm a nobody. A homebody that likes to party and I may never realize my dreams but baby I can blackout tonight And I'll never get to play onstage at a show Where people paid to come see me All I got is the amateur hour Where the beer is cheap and admission is free

Well I don't wanna hear your bullshit because you've spouted it before Every time I hear the same thing when you walk in through that door If you don't want to be here then just walk out, leave me be It won't be that hard to get over you that, I guarantee And if you can keep that promise then we'd all be better off You're the spawn of the devil, honey, you ain't worth the cost You say you wanna be here but you never save the date And that next time you'll do better but it always feels the same I just wanna make it work but all you do is make it hurt I'm really sick and tired of always losing at this game As cliche as it may be to admit this in a song You're the spawn of the devil, honey you ain't worth the cost There's nothing else for you to say Get your shit and find somewhere else to stay I'm done, you're through, I hope that you Will burn in hell for quite a few Eternities. It's the least you can do.

In a land so far away, there lived a little baby girl named May Who dreamed of a wedding so exuberant and entertaining And in a land not far from there, a baby boy with jet black hair Whose name was Ray, he loved to play all day in the sun light Who knew back then that they would meet each other in the middle of a busy street May thought she felt her heart skip a beat (now isn’t that cute, but listen) She gave her name and stuck out her hand, Ray shook it like a perfect gentleman And that was when a guy named Clay came up to Ray and kissed him on the mouth cuz Ray is gay. That’s just the way life is sometimes you Gotta accept that at some point all you plans will get wrecked so Just chill out. There’s no point in planning life out If you’re screwed before you’re due just let life do what it wants with you Back in high school there was a guy, who, above all things, loved pie He’d have it everyday much to the dismay of his mother and his father He loved apple, pumpkin, berries blue, cream, custard, key lime too Banoffee, strawberry, and don’t forget the rhubarb Who knew at that point he would get, a most ironic ailment It came one day at the doctors office, if he knew he’d probably want to stop this But the damage was already done. Mom and dad just looked at their son The days of pie would have to die because their son developed Diabetes. Type 2 specifically. Sometimes you gotta expect that at some point your body will get wrecked by A horrible disease caused by something that used to Ease the passage of a horrid day, well goodbye fun. Hello misery And I know that this song is kinda dark, but hey. If I don’t address this epic mess of the common naivete People will go around dreaming wholesome dreams of lives that they wish to have Well wake up Sally, grow up Johnny lower middle class ain’t that bad! I’m not saying that the grass isn’t greener on the other side But it’s kinda hard to cross over when the reality is that life Will screw you over more times than women, men, and the government combined So why would you even try? Well there’s this girl that I kinda like. A pretty girl who’s really bright. She’ll laugh at me, tell me I’m funny. Maybe rest her head on my arm. And I really want to make it known, how I feel when I’m alone. How I think of her, does she think of me? I know it's getting creepy But I know you know what I mean. I mean romantically. Can it be what I want? Is it even a slim possibility? Forget it I’ll just go up and ask. Make a total complete ass of myself I don’t care I just wanna hear what her answer will be. She thought that I was gay. Well I guess that would explain Why she never minded at all when I saw her in her underwear while shopping at the mall right After we just got through watching Sex in the City 2 I guess I should’ve known right there that with this girl, I’d be going nowhere

Come one, come all! The time to change your minds is at hand Approach the stall! Everything you knew was a lie in hand Can't you see? The truth may be hard to believe? But just trust me, I am on you side! Oh gather round! Come see the man that suffers from his ailments His agony may cause you to turn away from his torment Can't you see? Though it may not be your cup of tea Will you help or will you leave him be? Oh woe are we! That will not actively seek help for the weak Oh Mercy me! Mercy me! Mercy we! Step right up! Leave your worries and burdens at the door Please pass the cup! We only ask a dollar, not a cent more Can't you see? Some money will ensure that your sympathies will travel That's all we need so be on your way Oh ladies and gents! Inside, you'll see things that you'll never forget Such awful acts, the likes of which no decent human could digest Won't you see? Come in, and gander for a nominal fee We'll show all for just a buck fifty! Oh woe is he! Who will not prove he's man enough to go see Oh Mercy me! Mercy me! Mercy we! Come one, come all! Approach the stall! Can't you see you should just trust me? Oh gather round, don't be down! Will you help or will you leave us be? Step right up! Pass the cup! Sympathy isn't all we need Ladies and gents, such great acts Won't you see for a buck fifty Oh woe is he! Who will not give to us that which we seek Oh Mercy me! Mercy me! Mercy we!
