We recorded the instrumentals to this song with the legendary Ron Frangipane. We did the vocals, acoustic guitar, and keys on Keith's Macbook. Lyrics by John Mazurkiewicz, music by Slick Mick and the Dirty Dales. 2010.

lyrics

I need a lighter,
among other things.
I hate living day to day,
and the stress that couch hopping
really brings.
It was right after graduation,
I was introduced to this shit.
Now they're saying that I need rehab,
but, no I've never been known to quit.

BOO!

And life is painful,
and Lord, I have lived.
But when you're at the bottom
of the barrel
something has
got to give.

And now, I get by with Brad,
and the good friends that I've found
with our heads up in Outer Space
and our feet
melting into the ground.
My watch pot never boiled,
but then we made it burn.
Oh, my gears got a little bit rusty,
but she lubed them up
and made them turn, now
you cannot just give up,
no, you just have to give.
And if you haven't learned
that by now, then
baby you haven't lived.

And life is painful,
and Lord, I have lived.
But when you're at the bottom,
of the barrel,
something has
got to give.
