Testo di 'Are You My Mother?' di Retirement Party

I have Cheez-Itz stuck in my teeth
And I haven’t seen the light of day for like 24 hours
But I didn’t think this is how my life would be
I watched an episode of Dateline
Where they told the story of a lonely and malicious guy
And he killed 3 members of his own family
I don’t think they were expecting anything
He was a scholarly student and went to church every week
It's hard to tell the truth but I won’t lie
This is the hardest part of being alive
They turned off all the lights
Because the bill wasn’t paid on time
And we all know that this rotting corpse has died

And a soul cries out into the night
Have you seen my mother?
And a soul cries out into the night
Have you seen my mother?

And I wrote while on my knees
A confession to the gods about why I can’t seem to eat
And I found familiarity
In the words and phrases that had once been spoken to me
Go get 'em kid, you’ve got all you need
Go take the world by storm and leave your mark on everything
But I sat
And went back to sleep
And couldn’t get up in the morning
This is not news to me

And maybe I should just be a little more kind
