ALL I GOT FOR SUMMER

all i got for summer was a sunburn full of bandages - all i got for winter was a case for alcohol - all i got from springtime is this bitter switch to melancholy - all i get from autumn - is a hopelessness and sudden urge to rake

all i got for mother was a hankering for a hunk of cheese - all i got from father was his filthy alibi - all i get from sister is this canker sore before disease - all i get from brother is a longing look of UN bridalling desire

all i got for summer was a bad dream full of sausages - bombing new born babies while i was burning ants - all i got for summer were these nightmares that have stayed with me - bending over backwards with these few good men with courage still to stand

all i got for christmas was a stocking full of suffering - guess that’s what i get for having spent it on myself - all i got for christmas just a craving for another drink - gone wasted in the winds that slowly blow our christmas tidings into flakes

all i got for winter was this careless little melody - all i got for winter is a gun cocked full of a cold - all i get from suffering is gaining time on long lost dreams - hanging in my stomach - helping me digest rehearsal day
