Lyrics

[01:08.37] We hold these truths to be self-evident
[01:14.78] We drink beer in bars and act irreverent
[01:21.35] The stockings were hung by the window with care
[01:28.36] Right next to her shoes and her underwear
[01:35.22] You might look at this place and call it a mess
[01:41.94] The tray is full of ashes and their sweet caress
[01:48.94] And the pain that's the same
[01:52.54] And the pain that's the same
[01:55.99] My Gettysburg address
[02:03.08] And the pain that's the same
[02:06.18] And the pain that's the same
[02:09.69] In my Gettysburg address
[02:16.53] Loose papers and bottles and other things can be found
[02:22.97] An assortment of crap that you put on the ground
[02:29.60] Glasses lie on the notebook right next to my pen
[02:36.50] Why am I thinking these thoughts again?
[02:43.29] As I sit in this chair I'm in need of a rest
[02:49.85] After doing the worst at being the best
[02:56.89] And for the time being
[03:00.22] And for the time being
[03:03.81] My Gettysburg address
[03:09.09] And for the time being
[03:13.50] And for the time being
[03:17.44] In my Gettysburg address
[04:31.62] I cough up some phlegm and I wipe my nose
[04:37.76] And I pick up a few of yesterday's clothes
[04:44.44] I carry the garbage on out to the back
[04:51.34] Is it Monday or Tuesday? I always lose track
[04:57.98] Why did she never happen I begin to regress
[05:04.52] Why does this one mean more?
[05:07.81] Why does that one mean less?
[05:12.11] If all men are equal
[05:14.68] If all men are equal
[05:18.06] My Gettysburg address
[05:23.24] And if all men are equal
[05:28.06] If all men are equal
[05:32.05] My Gettysburg address
[05:36.95] And if all men are equal
[05:41.62] If all men are equal...
