Ambulance

Written 1996

you always claim the prize for most miserable life, and I guess you win
and since it sucks to be you, there’s not alot I can do—okay, you win,
+++ ‘cause you’re an ambulance, sirens blazing, everything is wrong today,
+++++ well, what can I say?
+++ you’re a kamikaze airplane goin’ down in flames, I think you like it that way…

then you start to tell me why you got no reason to try, alright, you win,
and how your life is just a string of unbearable, terrible things—there you go again,
+++ ‘cause you’re an ambulance, sirens blazing, everything is wrong today,
+++++ well, what can I say?
+++ just like the Tour de France, painful stages day after day after day after day
+++++ but who am I to judge your life?
+++++ you can call it whatever you like
+++++ you got dibs on martyrdom, baby,
+++++ well I won’t put up a fight, ‘cause you always win…

+++++ but who am I to judge your life?

and then you tell me why you got no reason to try, alright, you win
and since it sucks to be you, there’s not alot I can do—it’s safe to say
that you’ll always win, that’s why I don’t play anymore
+++ ‘cause you always win…
