Don't You Think

from The New Me by Carter Prescott

lyrics

Son don't you think you'll find a date in Utah
The good girls are perfect but the bad ones are worse
Son don't you think that you should move to Portland?
Where the bad girls are better of course

Dad don't you see that you're nothing like me
I don't give up easily
I put my heart and my soul into everything
I got my sights set on the dream
This mid-life crisis is your whole life
It's got nothin' to do with me
So don't expect a call or a post-it on the wall
You get this fuckin' song for free

He said
Son don't you think you'll find a date in Utah
The good girls are perfect but the bad ones are worse
Son don't you think that you should move to Portland?
Where the bad girls are better of course

Your mom is pretty average but that's what I get
Well, Dad I think you're full of shit
My mama she's an angel she's there 'til the end
She won't leave us for dead
Mr. Money, Mr. Money what do ya' know?
You got a hundred thousand dollars for your cash flow
But not a penny is spent on the ones that you left
You fucked us over so you could go

He said
Son don't you think you'll find a date in Utah
The good girls are perfect but the bad ones are worse
Son don't you think that you should move to Portland?
Where the bad girls are better of course

Dad don't you know that she don't get much sleep?
The nightmares of you make her weak
Therapy does nothing when your soul is gone
And the ones that you loved made you weep
Go back to your parents who taught you to live
With a convincing voice but a lie as a shiv
Dad don't you see you're fuckin' nothin' like me
Now in my mind you are dead
