My Depression - Rick Springfield
Lyrics by:Rick Springfield
Born in the Southern land where a man is a man
Don't remember too much warm mama cold touch
Post war baby boom 50 kids in one room
All white future bright but living in a womb
Got a TV receiver Jerry Mathers as the Beaver
No blacks no queers no sex Mouseketeers
Daddy kept moving round I can't settle down
Always the lost new kid in town
Manlicher lock and loaded
JFK's head exploded
Dark figure at the fence
End of my innocence
Hormones hit me chew up spit me
Get stoned get plastered always was a moody bastard
Guitar fool kicked out of high school
Joined a band Vietnam mama-san killed a man
Daddy gets real sick it's too intense
I can't kick it buy myself a ticket to the USA
Oh my God it's my life
What am I doing kicking at the foundations
That's right my life
Better start looking at my destination
Hollywood sex-rat been there done that
Jaded afraid I'd never get a turn at bat
Last in a long line finally hit the bigtime
Goldmine feeding time money fame I get mine
Use it abuse it Daddy dies I lose it
Get a wife get a son beget another one
My head said God's dead motor-cycle-body-shred
Big life crisis rears it's ugly head
Oh my God it's my life
What am I doing kicking at the foundations
That's right my life better start
Looking at my destination
Well Prozac Lithium could never get enough of 'em
Last wills shrinks bills sleeping pills sex kills
Edge of sanity my infidelity
Looking in the mirror and thinking how it used to be
Don't like the skin I'm in caught in a tail spin
Honest-to-God vision spiritual transmission
Climb aboard the life raft
Looking back I have to laugh
Take a breath don't know
If I'm ready for the second half
Oh my God it's my life
What am I doing kicking at the foundations
That's right my life
Better start looking at my destination
My life my depression my sin my confession
My curse my obsession my school my lesson
That's right my life
My depression
That's right my life
My depression
