lyrics

May You Always Be Grateful And Filled With Love And Joy

May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
while shopping for socks at Wal Mart.
May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
as your sister screams “you are a selfish asshole” to you on the phone.

May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
upon awakening naked and hungover in an ugly unknown’s bed.
May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
as your wife tells you she does not love like she used to.

May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
as the results come in, as the fire dies out, as the show ends.
May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
while at war, while at home, while watching yourself think.

May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
while confused and unsure of the point, while pointing your finger.
May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
while people read what you write and think it is bullshit.

May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
as the arguments erupt, as the opinions think they matter.
May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
in North Korea, in New Jersey, in Cowpens, South Carolina.

May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
as the canoe springs a leak and you sink to the bottom of the sea floor.
May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
as your best friend fucks your girlfriend and blames you for it.

May you always be grateful and filled with love and joy
when you do not know how to always be grateful and filled with love and
joy.
