Rap part

DCut to a life

GLittle class suburb

AEverythings fine

DFondue parties

My mom and my dad

GDrinks being drunk

And Afights being had

I Dlost my virginity to a girl in my band

So Daddicted to sex

Every chance that I got

With whoGever I wanted

UnAtil I got caught

So I Dtook my penicillin and I took my band

To a Gtown made of glitter girls and Acocaine friends

Got Dhanded the dream by the age of eighteen

Saw Gmore than most people that I Aknow had ever seen

Played Devery bar drank till black and blue

Did the Gmorning show bullshit

And Awent to China too

Where they Dleft us to die without a ticket to flee

In Gsighting the riot we were Aonly 23

Packed it Dup started over just as fast as we can

Selling Gtapes making merch in the bAack of a van

Living Dhand-to-mouth for the next five years

Took Gup drinking wine, gave up drinking beer

Signed aDnother big deal with a devil in a dress

A Eone hit wonder I think, desAcribes it best

DeDcided to burn out, then to fade away

Went Eback to the van the Avery next day

Picked it Dup made a living without any help

Made aEmazing friends if I Asaw so myself

If Dliving like this at thirty-eight is a bore

Then come Eon God please give me thirty-eight more
