Reminder Song

Now preachers and teachers and scholarly brains
Have tried to provide a truth that explains
Why shit can go so badly
Well I've had a helping or two of the blues
But I go back for seconds and thirds cause I choose
To stomach sorrow gladly
For I have a theory that might sound crass
And to that hypothesis I raise a glass

Here's to the chaos
The heartache and strain
Three cheers for agony
A toast to the pain
Hats off to everything that leaves a scar
For reminding me who my friends are

Though I'm not religious, I've always believed
There must be a weirdo up there who conceived
This magic, tragic planet
And so I'll forgive 'em for adding the parts
That savage and ravage our bones and our hearts
And hardens souls to granite
For when at the end of a harrowing day
You'll see who shows up at your doorstep to say

Here's to the chaos
The heartache and strain
Three cheers for agony
A toast to the pain
Hats off to everything that leaves a scar
For reminding me who my friends are

No it's never gonna, never gonna end, no, no, no
It's never gonna, never gonna end, no, no, no
Not the misery nor the company, my friend
So fill each other's cup
And never give it up

Cause here's to the hoping
When odds are a joke
Three cheers for foolish dreams
When everything's broke
Hats off to every 'close, but no cigar'

Here's to the chaos
The heartache and strain
Three cheers for agony
A toast to my pain
Hats off to everything that leaves a scar
For reminding me
Who my friends are
