lyrics

I met a drity blonde who swore she was Courtney Love
A mixed up stare case who'd chase her cocaine with a bottle of rum
I wanted to be your lover not a father to your bastard son
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

Everyone's just standing around or else afraid to have fun
Well "I don't like this scene" it hits us like an un loaded gun
And i'd take the bullet train but need insurance to be on the run
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

I'll meet you in the back of the paper, have you heard the news?
Searching for a meaning, like a surgeon who is searching for clues
If I knew i'd have to interview you, id choose the side that'd lose
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

Locked onto the transmission, if only I could pop the trunk
I cought the wrong headlight, now i'm william Eph Traditions's illegimate son
I'd like to wake up in the morning and not hear my own voice just once
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

Sometimes i'd like to know, most times I couldn't care less
But not to make a living, I planned on being careless I guess
But, I gave up on the dream where you gave me your only dress
And said "hey that's how it all works", yeah

A book said anyone can do what they love for two weeks
But with too many cooks in the bedroom and not enough sleep
But in my associates' defense he got suckered with a useless degree
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

Jesus helped you build a diner you sneeze and are considered blessed
You're a servant to your religion, but then who is serving your guests?
He says, "well, I'm not a customer, yet I'm just the one that's signing the cheques"
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

Are you trying to score off boredom or hide a disease?
You say please and thank you allow me to bend down on my knees
Handing out handfuls of vicodin to avoid the mailman and the police
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

A sea of featureless movie stars with one dollar drinks and sixty dollar genes
The big tent is in town, there's no magician but there's plenty of fleas
Well, I don't know better than any of em and not one of em knows better than me
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

Strap on another rollercoaster, anything to get me out of here
She said, "I've always wanted to be closer and have a baby" as she whispers "weee" in your ear
She's just another theme park, baby, it'll be open this time next year
Hey that's how it all works, yeah

So you show up not expecting more and not expecting less
It don't make a difference and you're too scared to get it off your chest
If I knew about the mess I'd left I'd start over without any of this
Hey that's how it all works, yeah
