♪ Well, lately, things have been a little complicated ♪

♪ Quality of life has got me down ♪

♪ Well, sex is cheap, and talk is overrated ♪

♪ And the boys and girls and me have been working on the sound ♪

♪ Well, a little happiness, a little love ♪

♪ Was all I wanted ♪

♪ Sure as Hell thought I'd found it ♪

♪ But I was wrong ♪

♪ She left my heart feeling taunted ♪

♪ And my memories all haunted ♪

♪ But it's her I have to thank for all my songs ♪

♪ Every day I'm smoking my brain hazy ♪

♪ All I can do to keep from going crazy ♪

♪ But the paranoia is slowly creeping in ♪

♪ Well, I keep drinking myself silly ♪

♪ Only way for this hillbilly ♪

♪ And I thank God for this here life of sin ♪

♪ Every morning when I rise ♪

♪ Look in the mirror, and despise ♪

♪ The sight of everything, and all that I've become ♪

♪ The level of my medicating some might find intimidating ♪

♪ But that's alright ♪

♪ It don't bother me no-o-o-one ♪

♪ Lately, things have been a little complicated ♪

♪ Well, that quality of life has got me down ♪

♪ Well, sex is cheap, and talk is overrated ♪

♪ And the boys and girls and me been working on the sound ♪
