A Pot In Which To Piss

It was a pretty good

GPAWe got a couple of good grades

And it sounded like a pretty good seven inch

And winter didn't seem so cold

I had a smile for everyone

I knowI was starting to get comfortable in the place that

I'm inAnd it used to not mean anything

It used to not mean anything

It used to not mean anything

But it really means nothing now

Nothing means anything anymore

Everything is less than zero

And I know it won't do much good, getting drunk and sad and singing

But I'm at the end of my rope and

I feel like swinging

It was an unflattering photograph and people saw it all over town

Hanging up on the wall above the urinal

Hear the man with the notepad say, "Oh, they're funny, but they drink too much""And don't be surprised if they don't amount to nothing at all"

And we were talking about giving up

We were talking about lying down

We were talking about tying off

Wasn't it supposed to mean something now?

Let them see you struggle and they're going to tear you apart

You ain't never been no virgin, kid, you were ****ed from the start

They're all going to be laughing at you

They're all going to be laughing at you

You can't make it on merit, not on merit and merit alone

Dan McGee tried to tell me, "There ain't no more Rolling Stones"

They're all going to be laughing at you

They're all going to be laughing at you

I've been called out, cuckolded, castrated, but

I survived

I am covered in urine and excrement but

I'm aliveAnd there's a white flag in my pocket never to be unfurled

Though with their hands 'round my ankles, they bring me down for another swirl

And they tell me, "Take it easy buddy, it's not the end of the world"["And there and then and bathed by the rising sun, my son in his grave, in his rude-dug grave I deposited, Ending my vigil strange with that, vigil of night and battle-field dim, Vigil for boy of responding kisses, (never again on earth responding), Vigil for comrade swiftly slain, vigil I never forget, how as day brighten'd, I rose from the chill ground and folded my soldier well in his blanket, And buried him where he fell."]
