All His Suits Are Torn
Nofx · So Long & Thanks For All The Shoes
We knew he would eventually
Some wonder why he took the fall
Others just ask who the hell his he
And why should we care for him?
A baggy man with baggy clothes
A face made of paper mache
He lost his humor years ago
Along with his molars
His head planted beneath his shoulders
Kill the pain, integrity don't keep you warm and sane
Don't throw me out with the bathwater
Don't wanna be, anyone who would wanna know me
Billy Corbin had a time
Billy Corbin had a place
Following the 15 minute climb
Billy took the 7 second leap
A cannonball plunge off the deep
Kill the pain, integrity don't keep you warm and sane
Don't throw me out with the bathwater
Don't wanna be, anyone who would wanna know me
