It's Too Bloody Anyway

I shatter everything when I want to see my mind
I'll pick the pieces up when I get the time
But there isn't enough glue
Only this social lubricant between me and you
To stop the friction...
You've got to learn to whisper if you want people to listen
Gotta learn to laugh through the harshest conditions
As we cry while we all get christened
Our hearts are broken
Our eyes are smashed in
Our minds are tired
And we come and go alone
Regret's in the back of my mind
I'm too busy wasting time
Got nothing to do
I'll wince when I think of you
Regret returns
A wise teacher but I never learn
Laugh all you want but don't cry
Cuz we're too young to know we're old enough to die
And it's too bloody anyway
It took 35 years to kill himself
One moment to take control of his life
Poetryless
The angels steal away the gems
Hoarding them in agonized prose
And gaudy Catholic clothes
Our hearts are broken
Our eyes are smashed in
Our minds are tired
And we come and go alone
Regret's in the back of my mind
I'm too busy wasting time
Got nothing to do
I'll wince when I think of you
Regret returns
A wise teacher but I never learn
Laugh all you want but don't cry
Cuz we're too young to know we're old enough to die
And it's too bloody anyway
The angels steal away the gems
Hoarding them in agonized prose
And gaudy Catholic clothes
So many ghosts can just wisp away
Count the years with rosary beads
Thank Mary for Godspeed
Regret's in the back of my mind
I'm too busy wasting time
Got nothing to do
I'll wince when I think of you
Regret returns
A wise teacher but I never learn
Laugh all you want but don't cry
Cuz we're too young to know we're old enough to die
And it's too bloody anyway
