about

i wrote this song when i was 19

lyrics

It's a shameless conviction that you hold when you grow old
There's hair growin where there should be brains
it's on my head, its on my head
and I'm wishin i was livin when I should be wishin i was dead
wish i was dead
it's a shameless conviction that you hold when you grow old

and there's students lookin like they should be adults
its not their fault
and there's kids growin up in shopping carts
who call out farts with hard dark hearts
and a lotta permission always bein given
by the under-driven "miss daisy" dribblers on the grin-chin listenin in to diggers digging into things they shouldn't be involved in,
couldn't have evolved this cold look queenside rook cornered by a right-hand hook and taken by a pawn, she was taken by a pawn
it's a shameless conviction that you hold when you grow old

And there's cancer growin like the hair on cats
if it falls right off it'll come right back
don't worry you none you're the second son
and you'll get whats coming to ya, got it all comin to ya

it's a shameless conviction that you hold when you grow old
and you're gonna get old
