lyrics

Son, take my advice
‘Cause it doesn't get any easier
Fight the battles you can win
Ignore the rest
And don't you dream so high
Come down and join us

I see you Old Man
A picture perfect version of me circa 1973
But you’re bigger, stronger, with eyes that look straight at me
I guess you’re better genetically
And for that I blame my mother

Down the hall I saw the cat paw
At your head waiting to be fed
Previously I'd never seen you move so quickly
To please my mother, sister or me

For a man who hates dogs
The cat’s your best friend
And don’t get me wrong he grieved
Well, momentarily
Happiness is a full belly

You’re gonna die in that arm chair
Facing the sea
I said you’re gonna die in that arm chair
Your beloved sea is on TV

When we were young
You took us fishing
Let’s slit some stomachs
To see what they’ve been eating.
‘Cause if we are no more
Than the shit that we've been reared on
Then I am you right before you got shat on
But a lesson learned is a lesson lived
And I’d rather life rub my nose in
But I’ll take your hindsight advice and scream
You're going to have to beat it out of me

I said you’re gonna die in that arm chair
Facing the sea
I said you’re gonna die in that arm chair
Your beloved sea is on TV

I said cowards give up
You told me only faggots keep a diary
So, just lay down and die
There is on sense in even trying
