I broke my promise on a very sharp rock

 and I was possessed by something quite unfriendly

 and I was haunted by a demon in my sleep

 and that's how I learned how to survive

 and I gave a beer to a bum that was drinking

 and I gave some sauce to my bestest friend for cooking

 and I gave water to all I thought were thirsty

 and that's how I learned how to survive

 and I gave some money to my bank for safe keeping

 and I gave some money to my landlord he was needing it

 and I gave attention to the TV that was bleeding

 and that's how I learned how to survive

 If you ain't got the do re mi boys

 If you ain't got the do re mi

 Well you'd better go back to beautiful Texas

 Oklahoma Kansas Georgia Tennessee

 California is a garden of eden

 a paradise to live in or see

 but believe it or not you won't find it so hot

 If you ain't got the do re mi

 and I just ripped off a man named Woodie Guthrie

 and I bought a restaurant for his son named Alice

 and I fed false information to the audience

 and that's how I learned how to survive

 and I give a thank you to my father for leaving me

 and I give a finger to my step father for beating me

 and I give props to myself for achieving

 goddamn I'm glad that I survived

 goddamn I'm glad that I survived

 and I just handed you a giant load of gibberish

 and I give love to a lover quite deserving of it

 and I give thanks to all of you for listening

 to the story of how we all learned how to survive
