about

After taking a year long hiatus following the release of 2017's "Manic Depressive" T-Homas is back with a song for the ages!

lyrics

I broke one too many guitars to be a rock star
Now all I've got left is a laptop and no car
No life, just a couple of chords, but that's alright
'Cause I don't see you using more, hey!

I had twenty dollars, but I just scored
I haven't won the game of Life, but hey! I'm not bored
I'm just pissing everybody off 'cause I don't have a job
And it's impossible finding one when you're a slob

I can't clean up for shit
I'm used to the black t-shirt and pants
I'm not looking for a polo shirt
Romance to fill up my days

I wanna let my hair down
'Cause man buns just aren't for me
But I give you no hate
Unless you make me sit and wait
Like C.J. at the DMV
(Never driving away)

Never gonna be a winner
'Cause that's how life has to be
But winning's for losers
So I'll sit by and smoke some tree

Load up the bong, crank up the song
Let go of your problems even though
They'll stick around to bring you down
But after a while the sun will come
To spark a flame inside your brain
I hear you if you're feeling insane
Breathe in, breathe out
Anxiety will come and go
But I've come to know
The constant up and down flow
Nothing to show, yeah, I know!
D-don't bore me with it though
One day I'm gonna leave your head
Spinning out of control

'Cause if you're not happy then what's the point?
Don't live life trying to be someone else, you should just enjoy
Your time, your place is right here right now
And that might sound lame but if you're not happy then do something else

As always thank you to C.J. McKenna for helping out with the mixing, making everything sound great!

And to Jeremy who so humbly let me use his equipment to record this jam.

...Kick it!
