Lazy White Atheist Blues

Stumbling down memory lane

Nothing to hide no one to blame

And the facts don’t seem so straight

When you’re driving down a crooked road

There’s nothing that I can do

No corporate fat cat that I can sue

It ain’t so easy when you’re aging and lazy

 

Your Vulcan logic has let you down

And your home in space ain’t homeward bound

And your finger keeps scratching and clawing at the stars that pass you by

This song was barely written

These here words are hardly fittin’

It ain’t so easy when you’re aching shaking and greasy

 

Just when you think you’ve had enough

And you’ve filled yourself with all that wicked stuff

And fighting’s never been an option

No not against the crop dust faction

Puffing and stuffing for nothing

Oh let me empty something

Oh Lord if you only were real

 

Real bad news on channel two

Twenty-three dead in a family feud

And my glass is almost empty

Goddamned lighter doesn’t work anymore

There’s nothing that I can do

When all my lies come true

It ain’t easy when you’re all perverted and sick and sleazy

 

Desperation wants to move

Your coat is ripped and your feet are smooth

It’s thick with thunderclouds today

Way more ominous than yesterday

Beating and breathing and lasting

No way in Hell I’ll be fasting

Oh Lord if you only were real

 

Lyrics written by T. Randolph Scott
