The Straight Life

Mudhoney · Since We've Become Translucent [2002]

Sowin' the seeds of discontentment

Spillin' milk all over your misspent youth

Nurture your crop with blind resentment

All your cryin' can't change the truth



The straight life, baby, has taken its toll

Confiined your mind and stolen your soul



Your shit don't stink now that you're livin' the straight life

Lookin' so cute in that grown-up's suit

Chasin' down all your lost and wasted time

You don't care who the fuck you screw



The straight life, baby, has taken its toll

Confiined your mind and stolen your soul



You reap just what you sow

If you reap anything at all

I let my wild weeds grow

I hope they choke your rotten crop



The straight life, baby, has taken its

toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
