Album: Honor

'You bastard, you son of a bitch, I wish you were dead.*
Were the words that my dear mother called as I crawled out of bed
I don’t know what happened last night, but there’s puke on the floor and a gash
in my head
But today is gonna be a good day
I went into work, but they said I don’t work there no more
Had my desk in a box, guards escorted me to the door
And as I walked away, I lit my last cigarette, it’s off to the old liquor store
Today is gonna be a good day
I loved my Marie, I gave her my heart and my soul
And the house and the cars, in divorce the bitch took it all
Her new boyfriend Terry, he sleeps in my bed, he’s got a full head of hair and
he’s tall
But today is gonna be a good day
Alone! I’m alone in this world!
Like a traveler lost on the seas, my flag is unfurled
We could fight, but what’s it all for?
In the end we all wind up again at the old liquor store
That guy with the cross on the corner of 12th street and Q Told me I’m going to Hell, I said, 'Buddy, I’m no worse than you
I’d love to chat more but I’m late for my movie, don’t you have better things
to do?'
Today, is gonna be a good day
Alone! I’m alone in this world!
Like a traveler lost on the seas, my flag is unfurled
We could fight, but what’s it all for?
In the end we all wind up again at the old liquor store
