Face Value

Whenever I wonder if I'm alive, I bury the lead and cover my eyes
It's not like I gave a damn before
I put my foot where it belongs: out the door, in my mouth
But I'll be sure it won't go in front of the other
So take me at face value
Don't spend me all in one place
Oh won't you make it last a little longer?
I just might quit this with a quickness
What a disgrace

There's a warrior call coming through the line
That dirty old fake swears that he's just fine
He'll win, because he won't know how to lose
A room full of suits and socks and shoes
And a couple of smiles and a lot of untruths
But hey, what's a lie or two?

So take me at face value
Don't spend me all in one place
Oh won't you make it last a little longer?
I just might quit this with a quickness
What a disgrace

I've done this all a couple of times
I've written the verse and sung these lines
They all sound so very much the same
I've swung the bat so god damn hard
But that dastardly ball never goes very far
Ah, man, what's a guy to do?

Well I'll ask you to take me at face value
Don't spend me all in one place
Oh won't you make it last a little longer?
I just might quit this with a quickness
What a disgrace
You know I am such a disgrace
