Carcinogens feed at the back of my mind and engender my concept of time
Valedictorian, class of two-thousand forever, have you ever,
seen a face so ripe for a sedentary lifestyle?
Look, I'm fucking terrified this song is gonna suck,
like in a couple hundred years that nobody I know will be around to give a
dollar or a dime or just a second of their time to look me in the eyes and say, "Hey, I won't remember you for anything you were
save the shit you said, the shit you did, or maybe what you were.
I won't remember you for anything at all."
Look, we started right down at the bottom and now no one knows just where we are or what the hell we're doing here or how we ever got so far from
home base I'm hoping my travels aren't evidenced by my face,
a testament to my position in the human race.
I've been from the ATL to hell and back, from Hellen Keller Style tracks, to symphonies, just for the fun of it, just to distract
my eyelids from ever opening up and looking around and saying,
"Holy shit, everyone I've ever known has gone and packed
up and up and flown away to better times and farther places"
after all that all I've got are good graces, face it,
a phone book full of pretty faces,
and all they, all they ever got to say is:
"I won't remember you for anything you were
save the shit you said, the shit you did, or maybe what you were.
I won't remember you for anything at all."
So take your solace in your collar and your scene, find a better name to call it, maybe chronic vascular disease.
Arms up, and open wide for all the stars to see
don't ask what I can do for you ask, "What the hell can you provide for me?"
