NOFX - The Death Of John Smith Lyrics
Ive got respect from the communityIve got my bridge game to look forward toIve got this chance, a golden opportunityAs long as I keep doing what Im supposed toYou see my wife and kids, they depend on meTo provide them with nothing but the bestI feel its my duty, my obligationTo live up to the standards society suggustsSo Ill keep on working for their benefitAnd Ill keep on drinkingIll keep on believing in my lifeAnother year of slaving and smiling, buying and tradingLiving the life of a wealthy manBut somehow I dont feel so rich insideBut that doesnt make senseI just had a two week vacationAs soon as I get this operationTaken care of, Ill start enjoyingThe good things in lifeSo Ill keep on working for the benefitsAnd Ill keep on drinkingIll keep believing in my lifeWhen the pity spins your mind,Darkness fills your heart,And I wont be aroundWhen youre feeling all aloneThen youll know its time,To go into the groundWhen the pity spins your mind,Darkness fills your heart,And I wont be aroundIve got my family, friends, and associatesTo stand by me as the threshold comes nearWithin their faces I see grave concernAs I ask myself if their thoughts are sincereAfter all these years of being complacentWhat do I get? tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?No! just a pain through a body chalk full of regretIll keep on believing my life still has valueAnd Ill keep on laughingWhy cant I stop laughing? I cant stop the laughing.
