INHERITANCE

from SHOP SOUNDS by Jon Epworth

/

lyrics

i come from a long line of heavy hitters
it ain't what i think you think i mean
hitting the bottle ain't so hard of you
it's hitting the pavement that makes your ears ring
and i had to go inherit this thing

too bad, so sad, it's fucking cruel

slowly i turn into something you can't see
that's all right by me
it's just like my momma said

too bad, so sad, it's fucking cruel

i made my escape with fermented grapes
and a series of embarrassing dionysian out-takes
my shame waited for me outside of the bar
and it hit me like a water balloon
tossed from a moving car

it's too bad it's so sad it's fucking cruel
