Somebody Down Here Likes Me (10​/​22)

lyrics

well, there’s not a real carrot at the end of the stick / and the planet’s still controlled by cowards and pricks / from the middle management, to the White House, to larger corporate entities / I’d found a place to go each day to get bossed around / until the boss kicked me out, ass to the ground / but that’s just one of the two ways that I’ve been feeling free / So I have to thank you for that one good thing / I know that no one else is watching, but at least somebody down here likes me // I was crying at another party last New Year’s Eve / drinking bourbon by the mug and wiping snot on my sleeve / You came to bug me in a borrowed dress, and it was such a relief / I have to thank you for that one good thing / I know that no one else is watching, but somebody down here likes me // I still couldn’t say why / for all that some people care, I might as well die / but you’re smart enough to know what you want, so I guess I’ll buy it // most days, I still want to die, though I try to be brave / I’m sure that if there were a god, I’d still never be saved / but now I see how love can be a raft and also the sea / I have to thank you for that only good thing / I know that no one else could possibly be watching, but somebody down here likes me.
