Eternal Fatalist
You've blown another relationship
You say that God had a hand in this
I say you should have stayed away
From that other girl
Now I look at you
And you look at me
Ah, life's a fix for the eternal fatalist
You've gone and lost your job
Can I borrow ten 'til Tuesday, friend
You say your lack of dividend
Has always been spelled out in the stars
Now I look at you
And you look at me
(And my wallet)
It's a financial risk for the eternal fatalist
Ah, life's a bitch for the eternal fatalist
You say it's all lined up
Like shotglasses on the bar of life
You sip your way through it
You never once got stiffed
So pick yourself up, pay your tab,
And get on with your life
Get on with it!
Have you ever heard of dialectics?
One sure way to get some perspective
Of course every action isn't elective
And I wonder what my horoscope has to say
Today
You say your moon's in the seventh house
But your butt's been three days on my couch
You've eaten me out of home and house
You nearly drank up all of my beer
Yeah, I'm outta here
Oh I look at you
And you look at me
Ah, life's a fix for the eternal fatalist
Yeah it's a ten-year hitch for the eternal fatalist
