To misbehave and betray me
Stupid preoccupations
And the price for cockiness is worth swiping
They've got organizations of a people
You know I am a terrible patient
I am barely alive
Hallelujah for the ghosties
And all those scary monsters under the boiling seas
All those puny ingratiations
Ever since my daddy died
We know y'all are all innocent
Yes, it's primal griping
And I've been searching for my own little babies
Stupid preoccupations
So don't say that you weren't warned
Like me with stupid preoccupation
Yes, I am nearly reformed
They've got organizations of a people
I'm just bitching at your expense
It may be too ugly to look on
'Cause when I break into that smile that is aching
Stupid preoccupations
Like me with stupid preoccupations
I tie one onto all the others
And say a soggy toast to all my drunken brothers
