I've heard that men are candy
and I’ve got the makings of a hero
While I drink cigarettes with brandy
to pad my fall at your ground zero
When love was new, it did taste sweet
but I failed to save the rations
Now it only reeks of dirty feet
and broken's become the new fashion
Missing teeth and ratty hair
because I mean, who the hell is looking
It's hard to fake trying to care
when the proof has missed the pudding
I'll make my way into a Walmart
stock myself up with something sweet
Baton the walls surrounding my heart
and give myself another treat
