lyrics

I've righted some wrongs
I've wronged some rights
I've lived off black beans, top ramen and rice
I learned the hard way once and I learned the hard way twice
all I need is a cold drink of water and a place to sleep tonight
and when I die I'm gonna do it on my own
a composer decomposin' in a box beneath a stone
and when I'm on the down and out I'll take my own advice
all I need is a cold drink of water and a place to sleep tonight

my heart's been sent to prison
my brain's been sacrificed
I'm at the tail end of a bender that's lasted half my life
I learned the hard way once and I learned the hard way twice
all I need is a cold drink of water and a place to sleep tonight
and when I die I'm gonna do it on my own
a composer decomposin' in a box beneath a stone
and when I'm on the down and out I'll take my own advice
all I need is a cold drink of water and a place to sleep tonight
all I need is a cold drink of water and a place to sleep tonight
all I need is a cold drink of water and a place to sleep tonight
