You left a lot of memories behind
When you packed your things and walked out of my life
I tried to pick up all the pieces of the mess of me you made
But I'm stuck here in my head with no escape
I thought about days before we met, then I thought about you
I thought of good times that lie ahead, then I thought about you
I thought about love, I thought about sex, and you know damn well I thought of you
I though a million things and ended up right back at you
You know that I've been trying
To keep you off my mind
I certainly have better things to do
It takes a lot of thinking
I might have better luck with drinking
It takes a lot of thinking not to think of you
I went for a stroll down by the sea to clear my head
Laid down and dreamed that you were there with me instead
I caught some waves, went for a drive
Smoked a lot of pot, got a lot of high
Then I lay on my bedroom floor and cried and I thought about you
I thought about Cara, I thought about Kate, and I thought about you
I thought about Lana Del Rey and I thought about you
I watched every movie with Olivia Wilde, thought she might distract me for a while
But I say your face every time she's smile and I thought about you
You know that I've been trying
To keep you off my mind
I certainly have better things to do
It takes a lot of thinking
I might have better luck with drinking
It takes a lot of thinking not to think of you
I've come up short with ways to clear you from my brain
You've come up long with ways for driving me insane
and bout the time I'm finally free that's when you start to think of me
and with one phone call there I'll be, thinking of you

Don't Give a Damn

Well, I wake up in the morming
At least it seems like morning to me
I grab some hot coffee, cold pizza
Anything I can find on tv
And nothing, I mean nothing
Man, nothing gonna stand in my way
Of doing everything and nothing
That I might feel like doing today
Don't you talk about responsi-frickin-bility to me
'Cause I just don't have it
Just show a little empathy for apathy
and try to sit around a little while in my shoes
Don't you tell me my business
Don't you tell me how I'm supposed to live
'Cause I don't give a damn
And I don't got a single damn to give
Got some good tunes, got some good friends
Got some good god almighty good grass
I got some lawn chairs in the living room
So come right in and plant your ass
And nothing, I swear nothing
Nothing gonna bring me down today
Not gonna worry about the weather
Or worry about the bills to pay
I'm happy being Peter Pan in Neverland
Don't tell me I have to grow up
Just take your bottom lines and dollar signs and trade them in for sunshine
You might feel a little bit younger too
Don't you tell me my business
Don't you tell me how I'm supposed to live
'Cause I don't give a damn
And I don't got a single damn to give
Give me those lazy, hazy, crazy, days, of waves and rays
And shit that pays but don't make money
I've got a six string and a bucket, not a thing left in my pocket
And I'm taking requests...if they're good
Don't you tell me my business
Don't you tell me how I'm supposed to live
'Cause I don't give a damn
And I don't got a single damn to give

Gotta Smoke Weed
03:09

I never shoot that heroine
I don't need no China White
I don't need no speed, no benzedrine
To keep me up at night
And your ketamine and your pcp
They don't do a goddam thing for me
and very rarely bother
with LSD
But I gotta smoke weed
I gotta smoke weed
That green grass ganja gold
That's what I need
Well life can burn you down
So let's burn down the remedy
Who's gotta toke,
'Cause I gotta smoke some weed
Crystal meth is crazy! Seriously!
Just fuckin' NO!
I never use cocaine
I can't be bothered with no blow
Whiskey will wreck your liver man
While nicotine kills your lungs
But I've never been one
To say no to no bong
But I gotta smoke weed
I gotta smoke weed
That green grass ganja gold
That's what I need
Well life can burn you down
So let's burn down the remedy
Who's gotta toke,
'Cause I gotta smoke some weed
Well there's a million ways to get high
A million more yet to be found
But I don't gotta use a doctor or a dealer
I can grow mine in the ground
(And then the last verse says)
They got pills to cure what ales you
And they got pills to cure what might
They got pills to make you sleep good
Or to keep you up all night (woohoo)
They got pills to cure the damage
From all them damn pills that you take
But as for me I'd rather just get baked
But I gotta smoke weed
I gotta smoke weed
That green grass ganja gold
That's what I need
Well life can burn you down
So let's burn down the remedy
Who's gotta toke,
'Cause I gotta smoke some weed
Gotta smoke that marijuana
Gotta have that thc
Gotta get burn down that chronic
Gotta sip some herbal tea
Sativa, Reefer, Mary jane,
Home Grown, Hawaiian Hey
Light em up, Burn Em Down
weed

Walking in a crowd you can only follow
You can't lead, you can't make your own way
I feel so broken down, My soul so hollow
This penitentiary is posing as a masquerade
Lord take me back to the mountains
To those temples that you built with your own hands
And lord won't you please protect the mountains
'Cause man will tear them down and sell them if he gets the chance
I need to hear the song of the Colorado
Giving life as it flows on through the pines
The Sunrise through the fog scattered through the hollow
From the cool green mountains to the Carolines
Lord take me back to the mountains
To those temples that you built with your own hands
And lord won't you please protect the mountains
'Cause man will tear them down and sell them if he gets the chance
We're living our lives in concrete and carbon
While we're shattering the earth for fuel
God can save the land from time and from tempest
But who can save the land from fools
Lord, please take me home to some place you created
I swear those trees are the pearly gates
Just give me spruce and stone, a land undesecrated
I need to taste the dew I need to breathe the sage
Lord take me back to the mountains
To those temples that you built with your own hands
And lord won't you please protect the mountains
'Cause man will tear them down and sell them if he gets the chance

Royals (Lorde cover)
03:33

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
