Praise The Day Lyrics by Flashlight Brown

My Degeneration (Japanese Release)

2003

[Verse 1: Matt Hughes]
Lost my cool at a brand new school
Where the kids all smelled kinda strange
And I threw my chair when I caught the teacher's glare
As she called me little Mary-Jane
All the ribbing that I goddamn took
From the kids left my ego in a whirl
And the kids would say while I sat and watched them play
"Hey there kid, you a boy or a girl?"
[Chorus: Matt Hughes]
Praise the day I'm old and grey
And don't look much like a girl
And the kids all come and dance in the streets
Proclaiming me the king of the world
[Verse 2: Matt Hughes]
Figured it'd be fine when I hit grade nine
And I'd grow a big beard really soon
Till the first day of gym when I met father Tim
And he sent me to the girl's change room
[Chorus: Matt Hughes]
Praise the day I'm old and grey
And don't look much like a girl
And the kids all come and dance in the streets
Proclaiming me the king of the world
[Bridge: Matt Hughes]
Illustrate my weekly pass
Come across as feeling crass
Submit for credit or just share your thoughts
Search my archive for a joke
A thousand drives and beers and hopes
Look out god I'm gonna die
My black candle won't stop smoking
Even though I blew it out
My stigmata are signs of disease
Reputation as the finest
Burned your bridges to be sane
Look out god I'm gonna die
[Verse 3: Matt Hughes]
In the end I will surely transcend
All the things that I was never meant to be
So with some skill and a little good will
Out on ladies night I'll get in bars for free
[Outro: Matt Hughes]
Praise the day I'm old and grey
And don't look much like a girl
And there's no one left to dance for me
