Suffer Together

from Hail Mary Songs by John Hays

/

lyrics

My pal Kevin's got a big fuckin knife
he holds it close when he sleeps at night
sometimes I wonder if he might be right
when he says we'd be better if we all died

I got friends that can barely breathe
and I got some friends that never seem to sleep
a missin thumb for my friend steve
but all together, we're all complete

to live is to suffer
and it won't get better
so we'll suffer, but we'll suffer together
I'd rather struggle than be some boring winner
who cares and whatever...this shit don't even matter

do you exist if you ain't got nothin to say?
should we be impressed by the stages you've played?
are you old when your hair turns gray?
or are you old when you ain't got nothin left to save...

I got some friends with sidewalks for homes
and I got some friends that can't stand to be alone
some say we live to slow
but all together we'll get where we gotta go

to live is to suffer
and it won't get better
so we'll suffer, but we'll suffer together
I'd rather struggle than be some boring winner
cause who cares, whatever..this shit don't even matter
