Lyrics
Straight Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sowin' the seeds of discontentment Spillin' milk all over your misspent youth Nurture your crop with blind resentment
All your cryin' can't change the truth The straight life, baby, has taken its toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
Your shit don't stink now that you're livin' the straight life Lookin' so cute in that grown-up's suit Chasin' down all your lost and wasted time You don't care who the fuck you screw The straight life, baby, has taken its toll
Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
You reap just what you sow
If you reap anything at all
I let my wild weeds grow
I hope they choke your rotten crop
The straight life, baby, has taken its toll
Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
