about

This song has got the "f" word in it. This was brought to my attention by a listener. Be advised. Around 2:18.

lyrics

For the first time in a long time
I see my corn growing all in a row
New York winter went below the line
I saw ice on my window.

I guess you heard it all before,
Don't wanna hear it anymore.
You better call a spade a spade, or call a cab.
One of these nights, if I don't get it right,
You're gonna find me cold on a slab.

I guess it's nothing new, my feeling so blue.
But there's nothing new under the sun.
I been readin', I been writin',
I been tryin' to get through.
Gettin' through's a job that's never done.

But just a little bit of work, and it'll all be over.
Nothing to attack, nothing to defend.
And from now on, you just depend upon how well you know your friends.

Looks like you can never stop fucking up for yourself.
Looks like you can never stop.

Oh, yes, I checked his wallet when he died.
Turns out his name really was "Captain Kirk".
In a minute or two now, we're gonna have to divide
His possessions, his shoes, his shirt.

But just a little bit of work, and it'll all be over.
Nothing to attack, nothing to defend.
And from now on, you just depend upon how well you know your friends.
