this has been one of my favorite songs for a long time now
but these days the lyrics are hitting a little too close to home
murder by death - boy decide
there's a son, he is born
with a silver spoon in his mouth
go on, boy, admit it
there's got to be something you love
enough to protect
you tire of things, i know,
but you've got to push on
some men crave women,
and some men crave gold
some folks die too young
and some die too old
some just want to pass time with liquor and cards
some work to the top and then some don't get far
boy, decide
you're too old to fuck around
and too young to die
time to try life on for size
now the time has come
to pull yourself out of the mud
and fix yourself up
hell, don't you care how you look?
your mother (god rest her)
she'd spin in her grave if she knew
what a mess you have made
some men crave women,
and some men crave gold
some folks die too young
and some die too old
some just want to pass time with liquor and cards
some work to the top and then some don't get far
boy, decide
you're too old to fuck around
and too young to die
time to try life on for size
you're pissing into the wind
squandering the life you were given
now what will you do?
cause you're wasting away your life
digging a hole you can dive into
when you get tired of fighting... |

| my life in music |
[Aug. 25th, 2008|04:26 pm] |
there have been phases of my life in which i would listen to a single artist or a single album on repeat for days, weeks at a time. i have found that listening to these songs again is similar to an emotional time machine; i can remember so clearly the way i was feeling at the time
some of them are more embarrassing/surprising than others
each of these has had its own era, however brief, on my timeline
and i don't think they're in order:
green day
muse
rage against the machine
the mars volta
gorillaz
the faint
modest mouse
the dresden dolls
regina spektor
the decemberists
neutral milk hotel
joanna newsom
beach house
surely something's missing from that list
if you've got some of your own, sharing is mandatory |
