Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last week, I came to you
I didn't know what to do
Yeah, man sometimes I lie
But sometimes I can tell the truth
I want my money back
Life's one big heart attack
Yeah, man my throat is dry
Someday everybody's gonna die
[Verse 2]
Take it easy on me
I need some lullabies
They tell me heaven's just a lie
Well, I'm not surprised
Tell me that you know, no, you don't
Yeah, you're just like me
Can't we just all hope for the best?
Take it easy
[Verse 3]
Money don't grow on trees
I'm such a greedy thief
Spend my life, I'm huntin'
Keep drinkin' just to find relief
My auntie's pretty cool
She did real well in school
But she still don't know
Where we really go
[Verse 4]
Take it easy on me
I need some lullabies
They tell me heaven's just a lie
Well, I'm not surprised
Tell me that you know, no, you don't
Yeah, you're just like me
Can't we just all hope for the best?
Take it easy
[Verse 5]
Yeah, take it easy
I don't wanna hear no more of that talk
Not around here, come on
[Verse 6]
Take it easy on me
I need some lullabies
They tell me heaven's just a lie
Well, I'm not surprised
Tell me that you know, no, you don't
Yeah, you're just like me
Can't we just all hope for the best?
Take it easy
Take it easy
[Verse 7]
La, da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 8]
La, da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 9]
La, da-da-da
Da-da
