Midsummer Blues

Vitality doesn't equal happiness.

I made some money and bought useless shit

Spent too much time on beer and bong hits

Had lots of fun

In the summer time sun

But the summer rages red

With a scorched earth policy

Arid and vast is my soul

Jaded, a rebel without a clue

Sitting here moping the midsummer blues

I need to head down south

Knock some cobwebs loose

But I can't get in the truck and go

That damned midsummer blues

It's emerald shaded

Burnt out and jaded

Babe, it's bad news

I got the midsummer blues

Well I ain't the kind of guy

To sit around and watch the world go by

But The Man says I gotta pay my dues

Well fuck you and your midsummer blues
