Song #112: Hey, Asshole- George Watsky
From the album Cardboard Castles, released March 12, 2013
"Hey asshole/ see the sun is shining/ but you're not smiling/ but I don't know why...
/I know I'm often told/ that there's a pot of gold/ but I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold/ I know I should be greatful/ I know I'm good and able/ but I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table/ this kind of shot comes once/ another opportunity/ of a lifetime just slipped away/ and that's the fifth this month/ but when you take a punch/ don't you ever forget/ why you get up and put one foot in front of the next...
/gotta take a bitter pill/ gotta pay for what I did to my head and my heart'll foot the bill/ got a foot in my mouth and because I'm kicking myself I developed a habit of knocking out my front tooth/ looking uncouth/ want to hear the truth/ give it to me straight 151 proof/ telling myself it'll happen when I'm happy but I'm climbing a ladder that has got no end...
/spent a half an hour/ sitting at the bottom of my shower/ letting the water run over my body and damnit I wanted to get up but I didn't have the power"
