lyrics

oh despair oh despair i don't know where this life went wrong
too many hits from the bong and now it's all gone in a haze
oh despair oh despair i'm losing all my hair
my wife don't think it's funny when i spend all our money on alcohol and video games
she used to be pretty before she got witty
now she's been disposed, too much coke in her nose
but she's always singin', the sun keeps on beamin', the fun times keep bringin' her lots of smiles
dreadful day dreadful day i'm going insane
my grass is growing high, i'm talking to the sky,
and i forgot how to lie to myself
poor little girl poor little girl, he's the worst man in the world
he used to be so funny before he learned about money
now he's just a miserable joke
wank......
she used to be purty before she got wordy
she won't shut her mouth she wont shut her mouth
but everybody's singin', everybody's bringin' all kinds of sodas and chips for all
kill me now kill me now, i don't know how
a gun or a knife?
and the ceiling aint high enough to use a rope like i'd like
