Boy Decide

there is a son, he is born

with a silver spoon in his mouth

go on, boy, admit

there's got to be something you love

enough to protect

you tire of things, i know,

but you have to push on

some men crave women,

and some men crave gold

some folks die too young

and some die too old

some just want to pass time with liquor and cards

some work to the top and then some don't get far

boy, decide,

you're too old to fuck around

and too young to die,

time to try life on for size

now the time has come

to pull yourself out of the mud

and fix yourself up

hell don't you care how you look

your mother god rest her

she'd spin in her grave

if she knew

what a mess you have made

some men crave women,

and some men crave gold

some folks die too young

and some die too old

some just want to pass time with liquor and cards

some work to the top and then some don't get far

boy, decide,

you're too old to fuck around

and too young to die,

time to try life on for size

you're pissing into the wind

squandering the life you were given

now what will you do

cause you wasted a waste of a life

diggin a hole you can't dive in

to when you get tired
