lyrics

I was born on a sunday in Bridgeport in nineteen ninety-nothing
my father covered up the cross on the wall
he said we don't need your god's loving
and the motorcycles kept me up all night

I was bar mitzvahed in 2003
about an hour from my new home
I had a right to speak
some false responsibilities
and a reason to feel alone
so with my korean-made guitar in one hand
and my pubescent dick in the other
I then began my lifelong quest
to disappoint my mother

and I still do

I threw my father down the stairs over whose brain belonged to who[m]
I said "Dad, I'm a man now, and that means I don't need you."

I'm not an impressive man
I weigh a hundred and forty pounds
and I don't think anyone likes me
in this goyish little town of ours

I came home for the summer
to try and figure out how to live
yeah, we had a bit of a bummer
but there still is a whole lot that we can give

so send my regards to Happy Harry
I woke up at one today
we come home late
we wake up late
we start drinking right away
we get fucked up during the day
we did today

and we aren't really trying all that hard
we spent the afternoon shooting at cans in my backyard.

I promise I will try harder next time.
