lyrics

“The Pamphlet Explains it All”

So you're standing at Wal-Mart
It's three in the morning
Heavy eyes and a heavy heart
And your favorite ex-girlfriend
Cracking jokes like you used to
Cause it's all that can do

And you're trying to find sweatpants
The kind without drawstrings
Cause when your kid tries to kill herself
You've gotta consider these things
Buying clothes for the hospital
Yeah, the pamphlet explains it all

And Mama never told you
There'd be days like this
Got you screaming into pillows
Like to ball up a fist
And punch the world in the face

Now you're back at the ex's house
Trying to hide the kitchen knives
And wondering out loud
How you'll ever get on with your lives
And your hands touch by accident
And you think you just might
But then you've had enough drama
For one damned night

And Mama never told you
There'd be days like this
Got you screaming into pillows
Like to ball up a fist
And punch the world in the face
Right in its stupid face

And the sun's been up for hours
You're just staring at the wall
Got your telephone in one hand
As if there's someone you can call
If you've got any questions
Bout how maybe it's your fault
But the pamphlet explains it all
