On the Album "Whale Music"
DAnother trucker stumbles up the steps into my kiosk for dirGections,
Too wasted to see the Amap I'm showing Dhim.
He Dwanted to bust the glass... 'cause I wouldn't give him gas-- 
I said, "You shouldn't even be Gdriving.
Just take a nap until the Amorning time and hit the road."
              D   D/C#root       D/Croot
I wish I had a pistol just to take him down with myself.
Who's to Gtell?
                                Em  A/Em  
No one said this would be easy...
But no one said this would be Dhell.
DMom and Dad are selfless... and they don't do nothing worthless.
They just work all day and worry about their Gson:
"What went wrong with AMartin? Is he Ddumb?"
I just pump gas D/C#every weekday D/Cnight
Until the sun comes up like Gmissiles... to my Embrain.
You never said this would be Dhell.
DOh... with all the Acolours in closed eyes:
FBlue and black of veins Call bleed to one.
DCome with me toAnight... To say that this is Bmanything 
Is saying much Gtoo much.
Let's go.  
D////D-A-D  
                D   D/C#bass
I see the sun is bleeding.
The D/Cmorning time has come... It's not that Gbad.
Oh, no.
                                 Em  A/Em  
No one said I would be king-like,
EmBut no one said I could be Dhad!
