SINGER: The Vandals

SONG:Flowers Are Pretty

Children are lovely before they get ugly,
and learn to do bad stuff.
flowers are pretty before they get shitty,
and rot and turn to dust
i heard that life is a wheel
and you can't make it stop
if you try it'll flatten your head
it's a circle of shit
we're in the middle of it
but soon we'll all be dead
like everybody else
that ever lived before,
the things you make fall to the floor
and nobody knows how hard you tried,
it's been that way since the start of time
there was a caveman that did some amazing things
but nobody here gives a fuck
and in a thousand years they'll feel the same
towards all the things you've done
Chorus:
so don't worry what might give you cancer
or stay up nights just wanting answers
it's just a crap shoot, but it's mostly crap
things start off they're so terrific
they'll fuck up, it's scientific
entropy, uncertainty won't yield to you
love at first sight on a beautiful night
and a feeling so divine
gets sucked down the toilet
cuz something will spoil it
with the good times left behind you
don't try to figure out who's at fault
powerful forces abound
like a twig on a river in the universe
tomorrow you'll probably drown
Chorus:
so don't worry if it is a tumor
all this will be over sooner
it's just a crap shoot, but it's mostly crap
things start off they're so terrific
they'll fuck up, it's scientific
entropy, uncertainty won't yield to you or you
and all the things that matter most
disappear, here's a toast
to erosion and corrosion,
altimizers and pain
don't try to figure out who's at fault
there's powerful forces at play
and if you lose your legs and have to beg
it's really all the same
Chorus:
so don't worry what might give you cancer
or stay up nights just wanting answers
it's just a crap shoot, but it's mostly crap
things start off they're so terrific
they'll fuck up, it's scientific
entropy, uncertainty won't yield to you, or you
