Recently Distressed Lyrics

dear recently distressed,
I am sorry, to inform you,
that I lost your kid's address,
you see my wings are on the fritz,
I can't even get up off the ground,
im really sorry for this mess,
cuz it all came crashing down

chorus:
can I remember,
someone please tell me how to do my job,
or im out of work
speaking frankly, you'll be out of
dear recently distressed.

Can I remember,
someone please tell me how to do my job,
or im out of work
Speaking frankly, you'll be out of luck.. yea..

i think it's interesting he starts the song like he's answering someone in an advice column...

Someone with the intention and desire to help but they mess up along the way and instead make things worse.

You know I never realized it was like answering an advice column. I mean I knew it was a letter or something, but that kinda makes sense now.

It seems like he's trying to answer someone's problem but at the same time saying he has to deal with his own problems, so there's no use in asking him.
