Depression

Verse They said to give up, and you grow up That my songs make them wanna throw up That I'm not original Or catchy, or clever, or smart They said my guitar would sound better At the bottom of the Ohio river That I should get a job At the Route 51 KMart And sometimes I think I might agree with My old friends that don't call me anymore To hang out or catch up or go drink beer And maybe I am not the same Thank God that I am not the same And I hope to be weirder than this This time next year With friends like that who needs friends When you have seasonal depression In Western Pennsylvania Or anywhere You're afraid to just be yourself Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck here Trapped in the wrong year Like an empty pack of cigarettes Like an endless bill called college debt And I don't know when I first started feeling so alone Like how everyone else has a place and I simply don't And sometimes you wake up in your 30's Take a look around And realise that you're lucky not to be a ghost in a ghost town With friends like that who needs friends When you have seasonal depression In Western Pennsylvania Or anywhere You're afraid to just be yourself Sometimes I think that I'll die here Sometimes that's alright Sometimes those words haunt me And cut me like a butterknife And if your friends are assholes Then you're better off alone Or you can go make new friends at the retirement home Or you can move to Hazelwood and I will be your friend And we can make a record in our brand new punk rock band With friends like that who needs friends When you have seasonal depression In Western Pennsylvania Or anywhere...
