lyrics

Well his mother raised him well taught him to read and write and spell,
He had opportunities and a standard pedigree,
Threw it away,
Wasted his mind,
Wanted to be,
A regular guy,

So he learned how to smoke and he taught himself to drink,
And he loved his marijuana till it made him start to think,
Wasted potential,
Was a disgrace,
The lower classes,
Would now be his place.

Cuz people never really change,
They always stay the same,
Then they'll try to change their fate,
But it's always far too late.

But he still had his game he played with barely any shame,
And the woman in his lives mostly accepted his bloodshot eyes,
Until he'd black out,
Into the night,
Became abusive,
And full of spite.

His women never really change,
They always stay the same,
They're forever twenty-six,
He's the one they'll never fix.

Womanizers never seem to win,
They all get caught except for him,
His life has been a mess always it seems,
It's this addiction his women scream,
So he tells them what he knows they wanna hear,
I'll give it up tomorrow baby have no fear,
Depression plays upon their sympathies,
An aphrodisiac these melodies.

Then he hits his middle age and the women start to say,
I think we should settle in to a life with far less sin,
He had no interest,
In playin' dead,
He tried it one time,
That's what he said.

Cuz people never really change,
They always stay the same,
Then they try it like a band,
Some two person one man band,
And people never really change,
They always stay the same,
Then they try it like a band,
Some two person one man band.
