(I Didn't Get) Sober For This
NSFWLiner Notes
Lyrics
I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober to participate in speeding up our rapid decay and ever-dizzying descent into the vapid
I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober for humanity to be commoditized While talking heads all plug their ears And whisper ‘both sides’
This world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful To be ruined By a handful Of assholes
I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober just to finger point and flagellate and splinter While specters scared of shadows call for four more years of winter
I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober for the next mass extinction event While purple puppets all pontificate on What He Really Meant
This world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful To be ruined By a handful Of assholes
The fat cats show their bellies in a sign of submission I’m sick of living in a state of constant opposition It’s not enough to just react, I want a kinder mission I’m sick of living in a state of constant opposition
I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober for this I didn’t get sober just to give it up so goddamn easily Cynicism might be simple but it ain’t maturity
I said this world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful To be ruined To be ruined This world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful This world’s too beautiful To be ruined By a handful Of assholes I mean fuck that

Aaahhhhh this is so good! That piano alone is tremendous... and the vocals and lyrics, daaaang. Spicy, painfully true, but so defiantly, beautifully rowdy I had to laugh and dance along.
I like all of the songs you've posted. You shot this message out loud and clear.
You’ve got a lot of great titles; it was hard to choose a song to listen to! I love the rollicking piano and your vocal stylings/melody are terrific.
Great song, love that piano playing and your blues-y delivery. Thanks for writing a song that speaks out!
Damn, that's how blues should be played and sung, a performance at a whole other level. Who are you? I have to check out more of your stuff. I stumbled on your song randomly.
Love at first note! Love the swinging blues piano, the honest, poignant and witty lyrics, the cabaret-style performance, the ramp-up in the bridge. The whole thing, basically!
definitely a sentiment that rings true. the bluntness of the lyrics is so needed in a world where protest songs are less frequent or more vague. great work!
Classy piano playing and singing. Your point is well taken. How did we get here?
Catchy as all get out! Fantastic melody, and a really great lyric that I totally agree with. Another spectacular performance. (I'm running out of superlatives to describe how great your music is.)
