lyrics

I SAW SEAN PENN ON CHARLIE ROSE

i saw sean penn on charlie rose
his face all twitchy + cool, real cool
+ charlie said
ya got somethin' in yr head
let's have it
+ sean looked hip + grim + said
suicide suicide

yr kidding, yr rich, yr somebody, yr famous

what could make a person do that?
is it somethin' yd ever try?
a war or a woman or a lie
a war or a woman or a lie

i saw sean penn on charlie rose
+ somethin' i swear was in his coffee
in his eyes, his eyes
+ charlie said d'j you ever laugh
+ sean scratched his head
life is hard, real hard

yr kidding, yr rich, yr somebody, yr famous

10 old ladies on the north shore from here
never got anyone t hold them near
i hope they ok today i hope they free

depression is black but the blues come from heart break
no booze no drugs no shrink can open that window
+ let the smoke out + let air in
