I never drink and drive, no
Just like my mother told me
To swig a cold one I pull over
To the shoulder of the road
And before I sleep I strive, yeah
To give the lord my thankies
Instead I count my curses
And pray I die before I wake
Oh, I'd like to file a complaint
Yeah, I've got a bellyache
And I feel like heaving my grievances
I've got misgivings about this whole living thing
But as long as I'm alive, I'll never learn not to love
My gun is pointing at me
And I'm triggered just to pull it
Off the shelf, to off myself
But when it comes down to it, I probably couldn't
Plus I'm not worth the price of a bullet
So I spare myself and think of the savings
Got mud on my face yet I'm so amazing
Cause if you're worthless then you're also priceless
If you finish last, then it means you're the nicest
So what's the worth of being first in the first place?
You get to first base, it's the second-to-worst place
One, two, three strikes, you're out – except if you're bowling
So ignore the score and just keep on rolling
I'd like to file a complaint
I've got a bellyache
And I feel like heaving my grievances
I've got misgivings about this whole living thing
But as long as I'm alive, I'll never learn not to love
I never drink and drive, no
Just like my mother told me
To swig a cold one I pull over
To the shoulder of the road
My stomach is one big ulcer, yeah
And my lungs must look repulsive
My brain is rotten, my liver is shot
But I've still got a pulse and my heart will go on
I've been kicking and screaming since the day I was born
I get my cardio daily boiling buckets of blood
I'm bent out of shape, but I'll never learn not to love
I'll never learn, I'll never learn
I'll never learn not to love, I'll never learn not to love
I'll never learn, I'll never learn
I'll never learn not to love, I'll never learn not to love
I'll never learn, I'll never learn
I'll never learn not to love, I'll never learn not to love
For my phone, a charger for my phone
Does anyone have a charger for my phone?
For my phone, a charger for my phone
Does anyone have a charger for my phone?

This is the second in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. The world appears to be littered with bearded young men with acoustic guitars and notebooks full of verse, access to old pianos, and mournful string players.
