I wish you love and happiness I guess I wish you all the best I wish you don't do like I do And ever fall in love with someone like you 'Cause if you do like I did You'd probably run around the block like a little kid But kids don't know, they can only guess How hard it is to wish you happiness I guess love is like a Christmas card You decorate a tree you throw it in the yard And it decays and dies and the snowmen melt Well, I knew love, I knew how love felt Yeah, I knew love, love knew me And when I walked, love walked with me And I got no hate and I got no pride And I got so much love that I just can't hide Well, I got so much love that I just can't hide Say you drive a Chevy, say you drive a Ford Say you drive around the town till you just get bored And then you change your mind for something else to do Then your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you Well, it's a doggone shame and it's an awful mess I wish you love, I wish you happiness I wish you love, I wish you happiness I guess I wish you all the best

It happened at the mall Grand finale of stranger things The kid in me remembers How it feels To be grown, but not enough For a child who starts to see The blossom of a life Just beginning So, take me to the mall And wash me in the stream The devil's in the details, baby Send the children off to war Drafted by poverty The senator's son is safely sound asleep Ah, but let us forget the war And buy something pretty Change the channel Create the illusion of real safety The Lord is at the mall And the demons are in the trees The devil's in the details, baby Growing up at the mall Amidst the fruits of slavery We all stand complicit in the greed Going to Sephora To find a different face With enough paint I'll disappear Without a trace From the TV I learned it all And I practice what they preach The apple don't fall far from the tree I'm uploading my heart and soul As this world sinks into the sea The devil's in the details, baby I have no words for God I'm down on bended knees Prayin' to whoever might could save me Look beyond my eyes And tell me what you see Can you see the truth beyond the fear? Though fleeting, they may seem Our thoughts and our deeds Are carved in stone and steel for all to see Look back on our actions Will we ever be redeemed? The devil's in the details, baby

I ain't trading my youth for no suit and jacket I ain't giving my freedom for your money and status So don't say I'm getting older 'Cause I'll say it when I do 'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know Is growing old, is growing old too quickly And I don't wanna go No, how am I supposed to slow it down So I can figure out who I am? And I ain't trading my dreams for no 401k And I ain't giving this fire for a cold, cold heart So don't say I'm getting colder 'Cause I'll say it when I do 'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know Is growing old, is growing old too quickly And I don't wanna go No, how am I supposed to slow it down So I can figure out who I am? Some of us surviving Some of us just roaming Some of us just hoping the world will move more slowly And some of us alive We're all gonna die one day Yeah some of us surviving Some of us just roaming Some of us just hoping the world will move more slowly And some of us alive We're all gonna die one day Yeah, some of us surviving Some of us just roaming Some of us just hoping the world will move more slowly Some of us alive We're all gonna die one day 'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know Is growing old, is growing old too quickly And I don't wanna go No how am I supposed to slow it down So I can figure out who I am?

You sat as still as one at the dinner table With nothin' to say after grace You were hard as one 'cause you had to be Yeah, the oldest ones turn out that way And if I had me one for every time you let me down I'd build a wall I guess I did Yeah, you taught me all about Which ones sank, and which ones skipped But there's throwin' ones And rollin' ones And gettin' us to open up Was like gettin' blood from one The steppin' kind The steady kind The "Hey, I've got your back ones" You can stand behind I'm just now findin' out, now that you're gone We were cut from the same stone I sway like you When I get nervous I'm shy like you But most folks couldn't tell I get the same shade of red as you did When I'm angry I'm red right now 'cause I'm mad as hell At the throwin' ones The rollin' ones And gettin' us to open up Was like gettin' blood from one The steppin' kind The steady kind The "Hey, I've got your back ones" You can stand behind I'm just now findin' out, now that you're gone We were cut from the same stone Yeah, there's a lot of things That should be written in one But your name Ain't one of 'em So I carry one And it's a heavy one I'm just now findin' out, now that you're gone We were cut from the same stone The same stone

I traced it back to a couple months before I was born I must've heard my momma tell my daddy That she was tired, 'cause babies make you tired, but Deep down, she was just unhappy I think my father did the best that he could do He rarely made it to the dinner table Said, "He was working late", but he was working late Fogging up the windows of an '89 Sable I, I learned to cry Quietly, I learned to pray Silently, inside a house where the Devil played And I, hate that it runs in my blood I hate how easy it comes I wish I learned how to love the same way, I Learn to Lie I learned to sing to Carole King on the radio Learned to shoot on a little Red Ryder I can drive a stick, and in a pinch I can pop a bottle with a cigarette lighter I learned to cry Quietly, I learned to pray Silently, inside a house where the Devil played And I, hate that it runs in my blood I hate how easy it comes I wish I learned how to love the same way, I Learn to Lie And I, I learned to say things I don't mean Like, stay, when I want you to leave And when you don't come home or call And I swear I don't mind I hate that I know how it's done When a moment just like this one comes I just go numb and play dumb and look you in the eye And lie Oh, and lie
