The Big Drag

Before James died, he smiled and laughed 'Cause he was just photographed for the last time While it was drowned, the kitten purred At least that's what I thought I heard But maybe that's 'cause I need to believe in the absurd Ashes to ashes after the planet crashes I trust all dust will turn to dust I used to think a wasted life was not a crime That's before I realized we don't have very much more time My melodies are maladies My poetries are just phonetic Trying to make sense of this world Is preposterous, pathetic The Gods have had their fun playing this world But now it's too upsetting The human race is not worth watching or wagering on We're just a long shot, an underdog With odds so bad now it's just a blood letting So every deity with dignity has just stopped betting So follow me into a world of anything you've ever dreamed Now that morality is blurred if you listen really closely You probably believe in every single word Mesmerized by rhetorical and memorized historical events That never actually occurred We're not blind, we're bound and blinded Our minds have been land-mined-ed And I'm so excited Every single person on this planet thinks that they are right 'Cause if you thought that you were wrong You'd change your mind fuck from black to white I do believe in true romance So I'm gonna dance and fight and fuck with every moment I'll always have something in my glass to raise To make a toast for those making the most of the last days Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be okay Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be okay There's only a finite number of tomorrows And it's not a lot But it's all we really got It's all we really got Live each precious moment That we can manage to carve out of each day So when it's time for us to die We'll say our short goodbye There's no sadness if there's no one left to cry --- The Big Drag - NOFX
