歌詞

When life gives you lemons Rub them in the open wounds of your enemies To each of us according To the amount that we can bleed To each according to his greed You used to believe that with age You would become less unhappy When you had real reasons to be sad When you were younger Your suffering was inconsolable 'Cause it seemed unfounded, uncontrollable But tonight I'm going to cut off all my hair And wipe my bank account clean Void all the contracts I'd vowed to keep Let's run away together, you and me And by tomorrow morning, let's live free Stumps at the lakefront, like beasts at the water hole It's our own personal dust bowl We rise each morning, as far as I can tell Searching for water from a deeper well How are you at love, art and crime? Three for three, if you ask me, it's a living wage Being St. Sebastian of the short stage I'll take upon myself the slings And arrows aimed at other singers If you'll be high-bidder, I'll be a bell-ringer You be come-hither, I'll be a ditch-digger You be long-limber, I'll be a tale-spinner Trickster and swindler, scribbler and scriv'ner Shimmering silver and high-gauge June and Johnny for the modern age Tonight I'm going to cut off all my hair And wipe my bank account clean Break all the promises I vowed to keep Close your eyes and floor it, man, no guarantee We'll see our way clear to live free Stumps at the lakefront, like beasts at the water hole It's our own personal dust bowl We rise each morning, as far as I can tell Searching for water from a deeper well Suck in your gut, blow out your voice Go home, as if you've got the choice Take a shot and smooth your shirt Whatever you do, don't get hurt, these are high seas Pull yourself together, man, and live free I believe it and I've found it to be true You can stay one step ahead Of the problems that oppress you I believe it, and I've found it to be true You can stay one step ahead of your problems I believe it and I've found it to be true I can outrun any one of you
