A Fruitless Year - 1997

When the rain floods the fields and the whole crop is gone

It’s starting to feel like an old country song

Don’t just rest in regret

Put your best dress shoes on and play in the mud

Then run for your life like a good little boy

'Cause today you are young

If you just make the choice to be free from the weather

And never give up on your toys

It’s a lie that they feed you

And prove you must follow

The current events of today and tomorrow

When deep in your throat you still know it is hollow

The whole world is just one more pill you must swallow

And its side effect list consists of sad sex and sorrow

It’s an unhealthy mixture

A weight you can’t wallow away from your tears

Or the years that just follow
