Lesson #134 Lyrics

This is who I used to be

But now my life is a con

Don't tell me it's good enough

And I suggest you move on

In that dream I was a carpenter

On a variety show

The wood has rot and my blade's too dull

The audience let me know

Don't tell me it's good enough

Then thrown tantrum when I turn to go

You never know, the Six of Wands could show

This is the house I grew up in

What's that shuffling sound?

You don't have to get excited I was

Just on my way out

This used to be a family town

But I was just standing tight

Don't tell me, tell it to the judge

Officer, I have rights

Don't tell me you're getting bored

Then throw a tantrum when it's time to go

You'll never know how much we must bare

Don't tell it's getting late then

Throw a ratchet in my plans to go

Let me know

If people stop and stare

For me

I'm gonna beg

For my life

This used to be who I was

But now my life is a con

Don't tell me it's good enough

And I suggest you move on

This clock has a pendulum

But it isn't weighted right

It isn't swinging at a even rate and

It kept me up most the night

For me

I'm gonna beg

For my life
