Lyrics

To Old Friends and New

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.

You have got a lot of nerve to behave the way that you do

Making me listen to all of your carrying on

You are not the only one who thinks that life is so cruel

Me, I have got problems of my own

But if you talk and nobody's listening

Then it's almost like being alone

So it's alright the way you piss and moan

It's alright, the way you piss and moan

Like the time traveler who killed his grandfather, these cycles are bringing me down

We could build a nice life together if we don't kill each other first

Are you just too fucked up to understand me or is it the other way around?

Maybe it's both, and I just don't know which is worse

So you better thank your lucky stars

You don't know half what I know is true

But it's alright if you think that you do

It's alright, if you think that you do

Was it the devil, or was it the lord

Who gave you those words

The ones I never heard?

It's alright to kill and it's alright to steal

If you're willing to hold up your part of the deal

There are plenty of things that are worth dying for

But you'll never know until you open that door

And reasons for living are seldom and few

And if you see one you better stick to it like glue, yes it's true, it is true

If I were there to keep satisfied all of your carnal desires

Then it might be my place to say what is or isn't forbid

So how can I hold it against you if you answer the call of the wild?

No matter how brilliant a woman, you're only a kid

But if you know that nobody is ever going

To suffer for you like I did

Well it's alright the way that you live

It's alright the way that you live

It's alright now
