Birch Street

from Sing My Story, Tell My Song by D. Cullen

lyrics

They’re all 25, they all live with their parents
They’re all working too hard and they can’t afford nothing
Never left the old bedroom, never turned off that light
Only go out for booze, to fuck or to fight
He’s been a little more distant, and she’s been getting frustrated
She didn’t come the last time that he offered his services
They’ve been going on 5 years, they’ll last a couple more
and when she told him “the spark died”, he just looked at his phone

That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street tonight
That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street

Someone out there has it in for us

He’s been playing in the band, thinks they’re gonna get somewhere
There were labels at the last show, said one day they’d sign them
Last night he took a pill, and in the morning regrets it
and he’ll do it tomorrow, ‘cause that’s just how they all live
We all have the some clothes, we all keep the same company
We’re all at the same bars, in the same factories
The same conversations go around and around
We all have the same genes, the same ups and downs

That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street tonight
That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street

Someone out there has it in for us

Now I'm going to bed and I'm shutting my eyes
and I think of my friends, are they doing alright?
We just talk about TV when we’re all fucking drowning
I truly am scared, is this how we’re all dying?

That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street tonight
That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street
That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street tonight
That’s the job, that’s the life,
this is Birch Street
