How did Camus really die that night?
Were they right? When he died was it really his time, or was it suicide?
And Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine
We go drinking from time to time, and I find it gets harder every time.
Chorus
Back Off!
You're out on the street again
Don't you stop!
Did you know you couldn't swim?
Back Off!
You're out on the street again
I'm not going to play if there ain't no way I'll win!
Hemingway never seemed to mind the banalities of a normal life
and I find, it gets harder every time
Chorus
Back Off!
You're out on the street again
Don't you stop!
Did you know you couldn't swim?
Back Off!
You're out on the street again
I'm not going to play if there ain't no way I'll win!
Hey there Salinger, what did you do?
Just when the world was looking at you
To write anything that meant anything,
You told us you were through
And its been years since you passed away,
But I see no plaque, and I see no grave
And I cant help believing you wanted it that way
And Vincent Van Gogh, why do you weep?
You were on your way to heaven but the road was steep
And who was there to break your fall?
Were guilty, one and all
And I dont know much, but I do know this:
With a golden heart comes a rebel fist
But I can't help agreeing with those that would not quit
Verse
And it makes me sick when I think of it
All my heroes that could not live with this
and I hope you rest in peace
Because with us, You never did!
And K.D.C., you were much too young!
And you changed my life!
But I draw the line at suicide!
Here's To Life!!! Here's to life
