You can take the flame to your money
You can throw it away on the ponies
You can live your life
It’s an American right to be broke and lonely
Or you can fixate on what you can’t change
Take it back, try to have it both ways
But when it’s washed away, will you know what to say?
Somebody’s gotta do it I guess
You can point the blame at your parents
what we became we inherit
Get yourself stuck in how you grew up
If that’s how you can bear it
But what really makes any memory true?
It’s just a story where the narrator’s you
And I like the past, but there’s just so damn much of it yeah
Somebody’s gotta do it I guess
At risk of sounding circumspect
