Here we are at the brink of who knows You got a good idea, Romeo?
I lost faith in luck long ago
I guess I just switched teams
My aunt Alice used to work for The Stones Now she sits around the house alone Playing Scrabble on her telephone
I don't know what that means
Out in front of the drug store lights
We're getting drunk on a Tuesday night You do whatever you want with your life I'll do whatever with mine
It just works like that
You learn to live or it breaks your back I believe Mark Twain said that
Is that right?
Oh yes I'm sure
I used to worry bout the way
I talked I used to think about the way I thought I used to talk about myself a lot
But nothing matters anymore
Nothing matters anymore she said
Ah the truth is irrelevant
Just look at the president
Can you believe this shit?
And all the while I was thinking bout This girl I met outside a bar downtown She'd been giving me the runaround I was waiting for the hint
She said she lived in LA
But now that all of her debts were paid She'd like to move to New York someday If she could only swing the rent
It just works like that
You learn to live or it breaks your back I believe Rick James said that
Is that right?
Oh yes I'm sure
I used to worry bout the way I talked I used to think about the way I thought I used to talk about myself a lot
But nothing matters anymore
You try and try but it's never enough
Some days you wanna give up
And get a soda with your big kid lunch
You oughta super size that
You been gunning for the prize and I know it's hard You got a cynical mind and a big bad heart it's true That's what I love about you
I used to think about way I thought
My god I was a goddamn bore
I used to think that I could steer the plot
But nothing matters anymore
I used to worry bout the way I talked
I used to think about the way I thought
I used to talk about myself a lot
But nothing matters anymore
