My Depression
(专辑: Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance - 2004)
Born in the
Southern land where a
man is a
man Don't remember too much, warm mama cold touch Post war baby boom, 50 kids in one room All white, future bright but living in a
womb Got a
TV receiver, Jerry Mathers as the
Beaver, No blacks/no queers/no sex/Mouseketeers Daddy kept moving round, I
can't settle down Always the
lost new kid in town. Manlicher lock and loaded, JFK's head exploded Dark figure at the
fence, end of my innocence Hormones hit me, chew up, spit me. Get stoned, get plastered, always was a
moody bastard. Guitar fool, kicked out of high school Joined a
band/Vietnam/mama-san/killed a
man. Daddy gets real sick, it's too intense, I
can't kick it Buy myself a
ticket to the
USA. [Chorus:] Oh my God, it's my life. What am I
doing kicking at the
foundations? That's right, my life. Better start looking at my destination. Hollywood sex-rat, been there/done that Jaded, afraid I'd never get a
turn at bat. Last in a
long line, finally hit the
bigtime Goldmine, feeding time, money/fame I
get mine. Use it, abuse it, Daddy dies I
lose it Get a
wife, get a
son, beget another one My head said "God's dead", motor-cycle-body-shred Big life crisis rears it's ugly head. [Chorus:] Oh my God, it's my life. What am I
doing kicking at the
foundations? That's right, my life. Better start looking at my destination. Well Prozac, Lithium, could never get enough of 'em Last wills/ shrinks bills/sleeping pills/sex kills Edge of sanity, my infidelity Looking in the
mirror and thinking how it used to be Don't like the
skin I'm in, caught in a
tail spin Honest-to-God vision, spiritual transmission Climb aboard the
life raft, looking back I
have to laugh Take a
breath, don't know if I'm ready for the
second half. [Chorus:] Oh my God, it's my life. What am I
doing kicking at the
foundations? That's right, my life. Better start looking at my destination My life, my depression, my sin, my confession My curse, my obsession, my school, my lesson My depression My depression
