About the youthful arrogance which quite frankly
I would miss if it didn't exist
Did It Anyway
I was brought up in born town
I was elsewhere, traditions gone stale
you just want to get a grip of your own
but the government grinds you 'til you fail
I met up with her brother and I said
sir, can I meet your sister today
he yelled, I'd rather see you dead
so I went and did it anyway
Taxi's arrived to cross the borderline
I heard about a job over that way
because there isn't any work in mine
It's all one, probably won't get it anyway
I met up with her mother and I said
miss, can I give your girl this letter today
she yelled, I'd rather see you dead
so I went and did it anyway
My days off from the dole crew
I go fishing with my only friends
they can't get any jobs here too
carp dancing to whatever god sends
I met up with her father and I said
sir, can I marry your daughter today
he yelled, I'd rather see you dead
so I went and did it anyway
