Life is Hell (and so can you!)

lyrics

Choked up, I'm a terrible liar.
Coming up, my body closed down.
Torn up and torn out of my dreams is what I sang when I was 19.
What's the hold up? Can you feel the clutter of your actions infect my brain?
The volumes up, but the picture is blurry with the glasses that you gave me that day.

I want to be a respectable, reliable, responsible young man.
I'll probably be a cynical, regretful, desperate old man.

Taken down, you really got me with that one.
Cheer up, you've already seen the lowest point.
Brought back to my standard pace of living, I'm exactly on schedule again.
It's exciting that you graduated! I think I'll graduate to another five bedroom, run down old house.
Severely overrated, I'm feeling worse about myself with every heartbeat on the couch.

I want to be a respectable, reliable, responsible young man.
I'll probably be a cynical, regretful, desperate old man.
