lyrics

Dear Mom and Dad I swear I'm not alright
I'm driving this car one way into a lake tonight
In a blaze of glory we're all going down
What we've lost this time can not be found
What we've lost this time can not be found

Let's crack open beers and talk politics
Exploding differences as this time bomb ticks
Right about this time you'll kick me out of your house again
This is becoming more than just a trend
This is becoming more than just a trend

Same Irish Catholic bullshit here we go again
These double standards for all these years I've condemned
So wash your hands in holy water and drink their wine
It was Kool-aid for all this time
It was Kool-aid for all this time

Push comes to shove, we abandon love
Our stubborn ways, our portrait fades
Modern family problems, our silence won't solve them
I'm giving up

This can't be how its gotta be
Remember when we were happy?
No fighting with one another, we got along with each other
Now everybody drinks too much
Irish blood and alcohol are a crutch
Put the bottle down and think clearly
These words I sing sincerely
