She burned my possessions
She poisoned my mule
She shredded my flat screen
And threw it in the pool
I had to find out
for myself
I wouldn’t believe
nobody else
She’s runnin all around
With a bunch of new men
My boss and my brother
And five of my friends
I had to find out
for myself
it wrecked my mind
and ruined my health
She emptied my treasury
She cashed in my chips
She bought herself rubies
And had a nice trip
I had to find out
for myself
she really helped me
share the wealth
All of my buddies
Been saying for years
But I was too timid
To face down my fears
I had to find out
for myself
I wouldn’t believe
nobody else

The Russians broke in
When I was outta town
Drank all my whiskey
And burned the place down
The Russians ate my homework
And Putin hacked my phone
My girlfriend saw his dick pic
And now I’m all alone
My manager’s a Russian
He’s an undercover Tsar
Always hacking at my server
And eating caviar
Down in every basement
Under every bed
There’s a sneaky Russian agent
They know everything you said
Call the Justice League
And summon Chuck Norris
Cuz we’re under assault
From Natasha and Boris

Your foreman is an asshole
He treats you like a rat
You take your anger home
And blame it on your cat
Feelings aren’t smart
They’re not even sane
Like a ping pong ball
Bouncing in your brain
Voice inside you saying
Your folks are always right
So you must’ve deserved it
When they beat you every night
Thoughts get jumbled
And feelings tangle up
Like a mess of rusty razors
Tearing at your gut

Digesting people’s problems
Now you’re such a nervous wreck
It’s a powerful distraction
Like a weight around your neck
Let it go
Or let it kill you
Live your life or play a role
You can let their drama fill you
But it leaves a giant hole
Some secrets are so scary
You even keep them from yourself
And drive them underneath
Until they devastate your health
Let it out
Or let it kill you
Sunken Secrets take a toll
Don’t submerge yourself until you
Rot the bosom of your soul

When you see somebody happy
Does it leave you feeling blue?
Do you wish for some affliction
To take them down a notch or two?
When you see somebody happy
Do you wonder if they’re true?
Like nobody should be happy
Who ain’t good enough for you
When you see somebody happy
Does it make you happy, too?
Do you get a little mad
They’re not miserable like you?

Funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
—Stephen Bruton and Gary Nicholson
didn’t know I was asleep
till I woke up in this cell
with my dirty draggled brain
and a brand-new coat of smell
had a special girl who loved me
she tried to get me well
I had happiness and comfort
till I blew it all to hell
I took a couple drinks
didn’t have a care
then I stepped right off a cliff
and tried to dance on air
the bottle is my sweetheart
we’re such a lovely pair
but she don’t love me when I wake up
with vomit in my hair
didn’t know I was asleep
till I woke up in this cell
with my dirty draggled brain
and a brand-new coat of smell

I took your daddy’s truck
I called your mom a ho
Stole your brother’s piggy bank
And spent it all on blow
Your heart was sincere
Your love was good and true
There ain’t no fixin’
What I done to you
I pawned all your jewelry
When you took a nap
Did your cousin and your sister
And gave ’em both the clap
Your heart was sincere
Your love was good and true
There ain’t no fixin’
What I done to you
All my rowdy friends
Ransacked your home
I binged for a week
So you could clean it up alone
Someday I’ll meet another
Who loves me good and true
I hope that I can love her
Like I should’ve loved you
