Sometimes I think that I can do anything
But then I sit down and I qualitatively analyze
My acute sense of awareness for my environmental surroundings
And I realize I’m not as cool as my doctor prescribes

I’d like to think that I’m worthy of your attention
But I haven’t earned much of anything
Every evening I crawl in bed
And in my head I question the words spoken to me
Maybe 5 years isn’t too much to ask
How old I act isn’t enough for you to take me seriously?
All the knots wedged into my spine
Keep me in line a little pain never hurt anybody

I like to walk standing pretty tall but I’m going to fall
If my eyes leave the ground in front of me
It's pretty easy to slip on some ice
And it isn’t nice to fall down hard on Milwaukee
Cap it off and take the loss
A good captain goes down with his ship and a saw in hand
Carpentry was never much of his thing
But if he wanted to live, this was his last chance
