To Old Friends And New
You have got a lot of nerve to behave the way that you do
Making me listen to all of your carrying on
You are not the only one who thinks that life is so cruel
Me, I have got problems of my own
If you talk and nobody's listening
It's almost like being alone
So it's alright, the way you piss and moan
It's alright, the way you piss and moan
Like the time traveler who killed his grandfather
These cycles are bringing me down
We could build a nice life together
If we don't kill each other first
Are you just too fucked up to understand me
Or is it the other way around?
Maybe it's both
And I just don't know which is worse
So you better thank your lucky stars
You don't know half what I know is true
But it's alright if you think that you do
It's alright if you think that you do
Was it the Devil
Or was it the Lord
Who gave you those words
The ones I never heard?
That it's alright to kill and it's alright to steal
If you're willing to hold up your part of the deal
There are plenty of things that are worth dying for
But you'll never know until you open that door
And reasons for living are seldom and few
When you see one, you better stick to it like glue
Yes, it's true
It is true, it's true
If I were there to keep satisfied all of your carnal desires
Then it might be my place to say what is or isn't forbid
So how can I hold it against you if you answer the call of the wild?
No matter how brilliant a woman, you're only a kid
But if you know that nobody is ever going to suffer for you like I did
Then it's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright now
Making me listen to all of your carrying on
You are not the only one who thinks that life is so cruel
Me, I have got problems of my own
If you talk and nobody's listening
It's almost like being alone
So it's alright, the way you piss and moan
It's alright, the way you piss and moan
Like the time traveler who killed his grandfather
These cycles are bringing me down
We could build a nice life together
If we don't kill each other first
Are you just too fucked up to understand me
Or is it the other way around?
Maybe it's both
And I just don't know which is worse
So you better thank your lucky stars
You don't know half what I know is true
But it's alright if you think that you do
It's alright if you think that you do
Was it the Devil
Or was it the Lord
Who gave you those words
The ones I never heard?
That it's alright to kill and it's alright to steal
If you're willing to hold up your part of the deal

Then it's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright now
