Good Old Days

Minute after minute
Day upon day
I sit, I reminisce
About the beauty
The simple joys
Of yesterday

long walks on the beach
The shared street food, yes please
Crazy Saturday nights
Lazy Sunday afternoons,  at least

You hold the bucket 

of memories
Always, it's heavier than before

It's true what they say, my dear

You age in experiences
Not in years!


The yesterday
And the tomorrow
Hold so much allure
We forget to live
Right now
Delegate the living
Some more 

like all of life's little truths
It's so simple, it is scary

We tried to look at it

Every which way

But Today, right now
is the tomorrow's
good old days

Hazardous to health

It's toxic
Carcinogenic
Inviting death
With every breath

Alcohol
And cigarettes
And the occasional
Shot of meth

You're missing the point
I assure you
You're missing
the biggest component

What I'm saying is,
(You know it's true)
Don't you belive me?
Life is hazardous to health.

Life is hazardous to health

It's stressful
Blocks your arteries
The artificial sweetner
In all the smiles

A migraine
An exploding liver
From putting up
With all the stupid swine

That's where it takes root
Digs in its nails
(Puts a) Stake through your heart
And your little dreams

You know it's true
What I'm saying to you
It's independent of your wealth
At the end of the day
It's life that's hazardous to health

Life is hazardous to health.
