lyrics

“Change the Band-Aid”

Wake up in the morning Wondering which day it is
Which bills are due this week and will I make the ends
Splash some water on my face and take a good look inside
To question if the man I am would be better left behind

Coffee and a spirit become two, three or four
Temporary sanity but really mortar for more
Problems that I should have faced a long ways back
But I’ll just change the Band-Aid to cover up the next attack

Squeeze between the jersey walls on the interstate
Trying not to die from the guy texting that he’s late
Tires are bald it’s using oil and well past 200k
The rest are all just killing grass on the edge of the driveway

Coffee and a spirit become two, three or four
Temporary sanity but really mortar for more
Problems that I should have faced a long ways back
But I’ll just change the Band-Aid to cover up the next attack

Got enough to make the payments
But I may just have to slip
Swipe that card for a stronger link
But a week’s worth of lists

All the while try to process news and politics

Downbeat then a good steady two, three and four
Lead the way, escape like riders on the storm
Forget the problems and social quandaries
Pressure’s on the Band-Aid bleeding anxiety

No matter how you say
Things are going to be ok
Baby, I don’t feel so great
One foot hovering the grave

It’s all hurry up and wait
Let’s all hurry up and wait
