Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your life is shit

Shit

Your life is bogus

Bull

Your life is crime

Crime

Your life is hell

Hell

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna die

Start a new union

I'm gonna die

With my libido

I'm gonna die

Start a new union

I'm gonna die

Don't fuck with me

[Verse 3]

Your life is shit

Shit

Your life is clean

It's clean

Your life is lame

Without some friends

Your life is stale

Frail, frail

[Verse 4]

I'm gonna die

Start a new union

I'm goin' to hell

Help my libido

I'm gonna die

Start a new union

I'm goin' to hell

Help my libido

I'm gonna die

Start a new union

I'm goin' to hell

I'm a libido

I'm gonna die

Start a new union

I'm gonna die

So watch the pain

[Verse 5]

Your life is shit

I'm gonna open myself up a flea market

I'm gonna open myself up a flea market

And you're gonna wish that you did

Gonna retire on the profits

First off, I'm gonna empty out

All my Mrs. Butterworth jars

I'm gonna it put on the shelf

With my eight hundred dollar a month

Tax free Century21

Shop

And then I am going to

Put my Mrs. Butterworth syrup jars

On the shelf

Next to all the commemorative

Fast food chain glasses and cups

I've accumulated over the past 62 years

Then I'm going to get some plywood

I'm going to get some plywood

And cut them up into two by two feet squares

Then I'm going to get some burlap

And I'm going to cut them into two by two feel squares

And then I'm gonna put onto the pieces of plywood

And then I'm going to go to the beach

I'm going to go to the beach

And I'm gonna collect some shells and driftwood

And then I'm gonna take the shells and driftwood

And glue them onto the plywood and burlap

And sell them for lots of money

People will be paying top dollar

For my kid's new, used, new toys and clothing

Then maybe someday I can get rid of that

Piss-stained mattress I've been sleeping on

[Verse 6]

Die

Start a new union

I'm goin' to hell

Help my libido

I'm gonna die

And start a new union

I'm gonna die

With my libido

I'm gonna die

And start a new union

I'm gonna die

With my libido

I'm gonna die

And start a new union

I'm gonna die

So watch the pain
