My Husband Was A Poet Lyrics

It really is a shame when you ignore your friends from down the hall

And at night when you think why, there are no reasons left at all

It really is a shame when you swallow down pills

Because you hate life so much you can't look for other thrills

It really is a shame when you drink until you lose

All your eyesight and money, and your real friend is the booze

It really is a shame when you lose all your sleep

To a television set that only makes you weak

It really is a shame when she never leaves your mind

You stare all the pictures and try to forget that time

It really is a shame when you see other women walk by

Even though it's masturbation you still feel like it's a crime

It really is a shame when you look into a magazine

Staring at the rich and famous, wondering how they're sane

It really is a shame when you talk shit about those you know

Then when you dial phone numbers there is no place to go

It really is a shame when your parents kick you out the house

You try to find security in family but your only relation is a mouse

It really is a shame when you lost your money years ago

And all your ideas were lost in the cash flow

It really is a shame when you quit your job at the restaurant

And at night when you think about your dreams you can't figure out what you want

It really is a shame when you drop out of school

You spend all day writing nonsense thinking that you're cool

It really is a shame when you try to recall where

You fucked everything up then you realize it was here

It really is a shame when you think of your hometown

And how you've never left knowing you'll die in this same ground

It really is a shame seeing a picture when you were a kid

Then you scream and shout and wonder what the fuck you did

It really is a shame when you can only look in the past

You see all the beautiful memories that could never ever last

It really is a shame when you can't get out of bed

Then you snuggle up to a gun blowing a hole straight through your head
