The F'n A-Holes - Salad Days Lyrics

You'd never know it by the way I look now
I used to be the one they all talked about
I was big & bad, long & tall
I had the eye of the eagle and some big brass balls
I stood tall, about ten foot nine
But that was back before I lost my mind
Now I live in a car by the railroad track
I guess the salad days are never coming back
There was a time everyone knew me
I used to be all wild and free
I used to be the happiest guy you know
Now I'm down to my last dime
Sitting round and marking time
Just like I did 20 years ago

You'd never know it by the way that I act
Me and the devil well we had us a pact
He was gonna bring me fortune and fame
And all I had to trade was a slice of my brain
I had that money all spent
But I never thought to read the fine print
Oh no, I sold my soul
For two 6-packs and a ride to the bowling alley
Be careful what you scream for
Be careful what you hope and dream for
Or you'll sing that loser's lullaby
One day you're in the pink
Next thing it starts to sink
And 20 years is faster than you think

I don't know when it went to hell
Somebody pissed in the wishing well
My lonely footsteps echo through this town
Now I sit here and listen to the sirens ring
20 years ain't changed a thing
And I'll still be here 20 years from now
I'll still be here 20 years from now
I'll still be here 20 years from now
