Three little boys but one of them is smaller The other two, the same The small one is me I'm not small anymore The years were kind But they also tried to **** me Oh well That boy, the one on the hard to pronounce road He wouldn't like me He'd take one look and refuse to believe that's who he'd turn out to be The other two boys where are they? Oh we left them way back, when the pills started poppin' And the smoke started rising Because we've got a taste for the finer things Well did we find love like we always wanted? Love? No, but a lot of delirious suffering Tears shed on the ones we wanted And for the ones that got away Does anything get better? Well once you exhale and the white whisps crawl out your mouth The world shines for a small moment Before you have to put it out, and strap 'The Man' back onto your feet Well are we at least happy? Sure, when the lips form an 'O' downstairs Or when grass is cheaper than gas Or when the small marks on our arms start to fade That all sounds awful, why do we do it? Because life's a wheel that keeps on turning And our stop is not for a few more blocks Everything goes ******* nineteen kid The days get longer And the pain gets tougher and tougher We could learn to fight it Beat back the pain and become the champion you want But why do that, when we can just light this here joint And ignore it all
