Tomorrow is a day that is banging on my door
when I didn’t get to deal with today
or yesterday
Don’t get me started on yesterday
Cause that.day.sucked.too
and the day before yesterday
that.day.sucked.too
And I’m thinking ’bout this week
and it really did pile up
Yes it really did pile up
I drowned, I lost a lot of stuff
Bad luck has no safe word
it never listens when I say ‘enough’
and the world says well that’s tough
Deal with it
deal with it
why don’t you get over it
Cause I am still under it
and don’t know what I’m dealing with
I’ll write a self help book that’s full
of all the useless advice I ever got
when everything looks bad
and my motivation’s shot
Oh you have your family
Oh you have your friends
But they don’t live inside a skull
where the death march never ends
Can’t you try some medication
Anything to stop the whining
but I ran through the pharmacy
and found no silver lining
O get some fucking exercise
or maybe volunteer
When getting out of bed each day
feels like it takes a year
Counselling and diet!
Shut up and be quiet!
Please ignore the riot
that broke out in your head
Deal with it
deal with it
why don’t you get over it
Cause I am still under it
and don’t know what I’m dealing with
Cause I am still under it
and don’t know what I’m dealing with
A word for the concerned. I’m actually feeling kind of chipper – I gave blood yesterday. I am a worthwhile person with an awesome brother, a mother who loves me, a father who nudges bemused tolerance over to love when he has the energy (joking, pOp: but I get to do that, especially since I know you WILL fetch me off the side of a road in the middle of the night), two lovely kids, a most excellent ex, numbers of friends who have already demonstrated how much they love me in a large variety of gratitute inspiring ways, and a very floofy cat, who is not appearing in this picture. The first 10 lines came into my head as I was drifting off last night. Now it’s 4 in the morning and I’m finishing it. I am thinking Buzz needs to be fired up, as I hear jangly electric 12 string as the accompaniment.
