Nightmare city, people getting busy,
got me feeling like I know I should.
Do you feel the same way too?

Head out on the town, pull out all the stops,
point out all the things we wish we were
but we're not.

It's a little bit of love and a little bit of sacrifice.
It's a little bit of love and a little bit of drawn blood.
It's a little bit of love and a little bit of compromise.
It's a little bit of love and a little drawn blood.

Son, for a kid, you're quite a boy,
we'll make you a man yet.
Eat your soup, feel good;
you'll be driving cars, getting liquored up, and splitting wood.

Like your old man did, back when he was home,
now you're all alone, now you're all alone.
Old man did, back when he was home.
Now your heart is broke, now you're all alone.

Build a house, burn it down around you.
Choking out - on the ground is where they found you,
fingers around a book bound titled "One Thousand Things You're Bound To".

It's a little bit of love and a little bit of sacrifice.
It's a little bit of love and a little bit of drawn blood.
It's a little bit of love and a little bit of compromise.
It's a little bit of love and a little drawn blood.

Kid, for a boy, you're quite a son,
we'll make you a father yet.
Do your work, feel good;
you'll be hitting bars, getting liquored up, and splitting wood.

Like your old man did, back when he was home,
when he was all alone, now you're all alone.
Old man did, back when he was home.
when you hardly spoke, now you're all alone.

Build a house, burn it down around you.
Choking out, on the ground is where they found you,
fingers around a book bound titled "Love is Everywhere and It Is All Around You".
