Rotten Piece of Wood

from The Jafsy EP by Scoop Trumbull & The Wrong Notes

lyrics

Wish I was better with money and time
Wish I could look you in the eye
And say I don't care and mean it
I just can't believe it...

Wish I was better at getting by
And not just trying to survive
But I've got no balance to speak of
My timing with the rent's a bad punchline

I'm a rotten piece of wood
Light a fire under me
In a rising forest
I'm a fallen tree

Wish I was better at drinking rye
Wish I could say "no" some of the time
And balance my fun and responsibility
Like you always taught me

But I always believed there was truth and lies
And working 9 to 5 was for other guys
I'd never understand and I didn't want to
I still don't want to...

I'm a rotten piece of wood
Light a fire under me
In a rising forest
I'm a fallen tree

I'm a rotten piece of wood
Light a fire under me
Burn away the dead weight
Now I'm a rising tree
and I'll be alright.
