lyrics

You're right, she's sucking his cock even as we speak.
You're right, you're getting fat, you're done, you've peaked.
You're right, your friends all talk about you when you leave the room.
You're right, everything they've got to say about you is true.

You're right, your toes will curl and your heels will stretch.
You're right, backwards walking round clueless, bumping heads.
You're right, bumbling, toilet to dinner table to desk.
You're right, your seconds are shrinking, how many seconds left?

You're right, spark up the incense and shave your head, but
You're right, every saint, Yogi and Guru still wound up dead.
You're right, chirping “live and let live” while you mind your place.
You're right, there's no medals at the end of the human race.

You're right, better swallow those prayers, miss, nobody's there.
You're right, keep your dreams to yourself, kid, nobody cares.
You're right, a smile's a contract, a friend's a slave.
You're right, a cock is a cudgel, a cunt's a grave.

You're right, the rope's fraying fast and the cliff is slick.
You're high above a beach of smashed femurs and microchips.
You're right, you can empty your soul, still not fill your purse.
You're right, buy a hundred Ferraris, you'll still ride the hearse.

You're right, nothing gets any better, it just gets worse.
You're right, nothing gets any better, it just gets worse.

Worth the price of admission for Impossible Soul alone. What a great journey of a song that is. If I'm feeling really stressed out, I like to turn it on and just listen - usually once I'm at the end I feel a lot better. rar
