lyrics

Don’t Hafta

I blacked out last night but this time it was different.
I dreamed I was American
Smell the burning robber in assaulting seized-up Maine
tragedy brings neighbors powdered doughnuts in the driving rain

You don’t have to
Nah you don’t hafta
nah nah nah

Woke the fuck up again, but this time... I felt different.
My soul, my god, they’ve paved it
Everybody’s heart hurts itʼs how you handle it that counts.
Honestly the thought just hangs there ʻwhatʼs another quarter-ounce?ʼ
then you won’t have to hate
you won’t have to hate
You won’t have to hate yourself every day

Last words I heard, “y’sure that’s wise?”
Woke up passed out, not surprised
Oh sorrowful mother, dutiful daughter
Do you sense an answer?
You’re such a liar 


You will know when the horse returns without its rider
she swallowed the lie and followed the spider
she swallowed the bird to catch the spider

Twenty dime bags sewn up inside her

jet planes of cocaine set down beside her
perhaps sheʼll die

Chattanooga Buddha again some reason he’s bristlin'
Peace is not the answer

and war is not an answer

there will be no answer

if you can’t find your phone
you don’t have to hate
always with the hate yourselves every day
