What you got to be sad about?
Your bills are paid
Your teeth are clean
Your bed is made
By hands they aren’t as soft as yours
You open doors by grinning
You skip the line by smiling
You’ve got everything but your stomach is sick
Oh la la la
La de da
Love never gives you a thing that it won't soon reclaim
You found a note to yourself that you left as a child
Should you ever need something to pray on
You hope it might be some kind of map back home
Scribbled in crayon
When I was a barefoot boy walking in the woods
I found a stack of magazines
They’ve been picked apart by vultures
In ball caps and blue jeans
All the naughty parts were gone
Yeah the bones were clean
Oh la la la
La de da
Life never gives you a thing in its totality, you see
Life’s a loan shark, yeah
Everyone’s paying through the teeth
Tell me that ain’t true
You’re not the only one

Hundred Bullets

There’s a hundred bullets meant for me
A hundred bullets meant for me
I’ve been outrunning them my whole life
But they’re meant for me
One of them’s gonna hit between my eyes
But they’re meant for me
One of them’s gonna hit between my eyes
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Gonna come to me in tides
Come to me and wash my yellow smile
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Gonna come to me in tides
Come to me and wash my yellow smile
There’s a hundred bullets meant for me
A hundred bullets meant for me
Oh there were crimes
For which I did no time
But they’re waiting in the wings
Gonna yoke and fetter me
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Gonna come to me in tides
Come to me and wash my yellow smile
Gonna come to me in tides
