| [00:30.93] | It’s hard to be living |
| [00:32.15] | You gotta play the cards you were given |
| [00:33.79] | You think it’s simple but it goddamn isn’t |
| [00:35.45] | It’s tougher now than breaking out of Shawshank prison |
| [00:37.79] | And as you’re hittin your prime |
| [00:39.10] | People say you been committing a crime |
| [00:40.86] | But I won’t quit till I’m home |
| [00:42.48] | I’ll chip the limestone a bit at a time |
| [00:44.03] | Wait! I’m a pale ass pale middle-class straight white male |
| [00:47.71] | I won’t have an alibi the day I fail |
| [00:48.97] | Cause if I ever went to jail, Mom would pay my bail |
| [00:51.26] | In a heartbeat |
| [00:53.46] | Mom and Dad have given me a lot more than a pat on the back |
| [00:55.39] | And I gotta thank ‘em for loving me |
| [00:56.43] | From the moment I was strapped in a Volvo car seat |
| [00:59.01] | When I needed a pep talk |
| [01:00.23] | I couldn’t remember to wreck shop |
| [01:02.06] | Writer’s block, staring at my laptop desktop |
| [01:03.87] | Or sleeping in my rental in a turnpike rest stop |
| [01:05.76] | Shit in storage, living from a suitcase |
| [01:07.39] | Thinking “this is how a silver spoon tastes?” |
| [01:09.60] | Cause you can make a dream possible |
| [01:10.76] | But it’ll never be easy, no matter what you chase |
| [01:12.86] | If you wanna poke fun then do so |
| [01:14.33] | I’ll do it for you, it’s no crime |
| [01:16.04] | I’m like if the dude from Juno grew a Jewfro and liked to rhyme |
| [01:19.78] | So tell me that I’m not a rapper |
| [01:21.50] | Tell Rudolph he can’t pull sleighs |
| [01:23.31] | Tell pluto it’s not a planet |
| [01:24.67] | And he’ll probably keep spinning in the same old way |
| [01:26.84] | On and on, every day |
| [01:28.46] | Right around the sun, wanna feel the rays |
| [01:30.09] | You do it ‘cause you love it like nothing else in the universe |
| [01:32.03] | And fuck it, it’s embedded in your DNA |
