Greatest Hits
music and lyrics by jay brannan
to bitter from sweet
like liquid to concrete
it's tough to digest
life rips through your chest
and just takes a heartbeat
you can't check your pain
aboard the shame train
and maybe i'm out of line
but if you show me yours
i'll sing you mine
[chorus:]
a punch in the gut
some black 'round the eye
there's red from my lips
and i'm asking god why
there's a bump on my head
and a hole in my heart
if there's one thing i've learned, it's
that these are my greatest hits
i don't sing for the rainbow
cuz i taste the rain
they spit "cheer up" and they scoff
i laugh "cheer down or **** off"
then get roughed up against the grain
