lawrence arms - the ramblin' boys of pleasure lyrics

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 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

things have changed forever.
we're the ramblin' boys of pleasure.
things have changed things have changed forever.
we're the ramblin' boys of pleasure.
