when a man dies, his story ends but we have not forgot on his gravestone, lies a message and that is what lives on it reads, “here is once was from birth until death in a simple quote i share with you my last and final breath” the last thing you hear is the last thing that you know the final thought of a bitter man are the last words made of gold broken or just unwise expression like the dead yet moral and destined for someone to accept patience is a crime that's what young men just believe answers in the distance the road grows like the seed “the hands that bury the eyes yes, i have felt it too i gave you the keys, now put them to good use”

like the words inside the bible like the cracks inside the tiles like the ants that are crawling underground like the strings that make up rope like the stuff that makes up smoke like the pallets that fill up the old warehouse sometimes i feel like I am bigger than the city i hate the thought that gods can never bleed i like knowing something’s bigger than me like the beer that makes me sleep like the water inside the sea like the voice that speaks to a thousand men like the snow thats on the dirt like the thread inside my shirt like the drunken thoughts inside my head the stars that make up the sky and the dope that gets me high the only car that’s on the road that’s me and everyone i know

once upon a time a long time ago god created animals for everyone to eat not just for you and not just for me but for everything that lives and everything that breathes till one day a vegan who was smarter than the rest told all of the meat eaters i wish you were dead animals are sacred at least those with a face to me they're the ones that have the best taste i’m hitler she cried as loud as she did this crazy blonde lady is dictating my fridge burgers and brats bacon and eggs how would you feel if you couldn't eat this freelee oh freelee how stupid are you your diets disgusting and it smells when you poo you say that you're angry at the food on my plate freelee oh freelee a human mistake uneducated in the arts of nutrition so unaware of the earths ecosystem if we only eat fruits and only eat greens try to guess how animals get extinct save the cheerleader end up saving the world lets save the meat eaters and kill this one girl i hope that you die i know thats extreme but I'm willing to fight for the right to eat meat once upon a time later than now freelee will die and no one cares how nothing will change not really that much the earth still lives peaceful except whats for lunch

something tells me i shouldn't drive home backwards from a drive thru at 3 am and maybe i shouldn't have hit that parked car and left with no ticket in hand cuz something else is coming up soon karma is the only thing bigger than you i got nothing but time, nothing to do i got nothing but time and no brains too smoking cigarettes and drinking too much beer has been proven that it’s bad for my health with a pack everyday and hammered 3 years straight I've never and still don't tell if I'm gonna die like the human i am then I've got a couple things in my head rob a few banks, maybe drive with a blindfold thats the way i wanna drop dead

Simple Life 02:51
i dont wanna spend my money when the price is high dont make a lot of money but my car can drive i got a blanket and a pillow and a half a tank of gas gotta guitar and a banjo, and a pic in my hand moneys tough to keep and moneys swift to lose thats why i spend my money on cigarettes and booze i go down to the tavern, almost every week getting drunk off of some pitchers, one time i bought weed a simple life, for a simple mind and all i got is time i’m gonna play these guitar strings until the day i die busking in the town of cripple creek got a beer on the side making money on the street got a brand new pack of cigarettes cuz some kids came down and gave us a 10 i saw this one guy hopping all of the lines of the crosswalk at a stop light i guess lava was the ground when he went across the street then he cheered himself on before the light turned green tornados outside and the rain is flooding the streets and i need a drink all of my friends they fear the outside so i went by myself and stayed the whole night and I'm pretty sure if they ever came down that night it would have been pretty lame you cant rely on all of your friends to keep you entertained

when i look at my peers at the way they all dress I'm so out of place but momma says I'm blessed i dont really fit in all that much i dont really have friends, but thats ok she said don't let anyone put you down you don't have to listen to them you're a good kid in your own kinda way and don't you ever forget rejection hurts in its own kind of way like you're at a ballgame and getting picked last now you're looking at the ground just trying to make back it to class the teacher doesn't like the way that you play and the kids just like to laugh there you are hiding in the bathroom avoiding the shame from the class
8.
sometimes i feel broken sometimes i feel frozen lately nothings in my emotion i got bad hair and old pants 2 weeks of my own fragrance i got a worn out brain nothings the same this aint news i dont know what to do im no good for you i know i haven't really been there too just being an ass while you give me sass no matter what happens I'm wrong as i was walking out you held the door shut i went to bed and you got up i carried you back and i slept on the couch so you got mad and you walked out

I Was A Fool 03:02
a kid left all alone and no one knows why not a whole lot of friends he’d skate all the time doesn't care about much not much to begin well, the times may have changed and i was a fool im pissed at the thought but i miss it all too playing pool by the mall and busking downtown he lives on his own the trees might be green but he’s playing the blues even though he feels cold well, the times may have changed and i was a fool im pissed at the thought but i miss it all too time ticks right away its been few years to some that’s a lot isn't it strange to think of your friends when they all forgot well, the times may have changed and i was a fool im pissed at the thought but i miss it all too well, the times may have changed and i was a fool im pissed at the thought but i miss it all too

jarret was my boss, and we drank all the time derek went crazy he’s a good friend of mine and ever since then we all moved away but i’ve been doing that since I was 8 years old and jimmy’s doing fine, he’s drawing on skin and lesleigh only likes one of her kids joey went to jail for the gun in his hands its all fun and games until you shoot your best friend what a beautiful world larry swore in into the air force and kalene wont admit that she's a whore and walt likes to chase after cougars all day and blaine hates men even though he's gay and bens girlfriend she don't trust him he sent the wrong message while intoxicated and now he feels like he’s a victim even though it was an accident what a beautiful world kevin and ashley are doing just fine they're smoking pot and frisbee golfing most of the time and jesus pierced his ears with a paperclip najee’s wife ditched him and went to texas what a beautiful world what a beautiful world
