lyrics

Well if the only reason that I'm here is to work until I die,
Can you really ever say that I was alive?
Because where's the payoff in getting a paycheck,
By throwing away my nine to five?
But who am I to call it a waste, after all
I never leave my bed until 2 in the afternoon.
That's a lot of hours to be spending passed out
For someone who lives as sober as I do.

I'm not completely sure if I live in a world worth fighting for
But I know it's the only one I'll get
And as long as I am stuck here I guess it can't hurt to try
To make this place a better one before I'm dead

I have such a hard time, telling myself it's gonna be alright
When people are killed for who they choose to fall asleep with at night.
It makes me wonder should I walk to the other side of the bridge or
Should I simply end the nightmare and dive into the freezing river.
Because at least when there's nothing there are no racists or homophobes.
So maybe the cure to bigotry is a bullet through the frontal lobe.
I may be angry about a lot, but I have no solutions,
That will get us any closer to a world that's free of all our evil institutions.

I'm not completely sure if I live in a world worth fighting for
But I know it's the only one I'll get
And as long as I am stuck here I guess it can't hurt to try
To make this place a better one before I'm dead

about

A Bird Among Men Bath, Maine

ABAM is Robyn Crews and I make
tongue in cheek, self deprecating folk punk from mid-coast Maine!

I started this project because I don't have enough friends to make a real punk band.
