I knew we were doomed from the minute that I met you
But I went ahead and did it anyway
You were scary but I kinda liked your parents
So I banked on that thing that people say
"The apple don't fall too fr from the tree-
Gravity'll keep 'er in the road"
But you went and broke the laws of nature
And your apple found another zip code

Two years later we got two kids
And even though we can't pay all the bills
You decided that you should quit working
'Cause you're sad and you need to take your pills
So I killed myself working two jobs
So you could stay home and be depressed
I don't get it you got what you wanted
Nothing's ever good enough for you I guess

Six years of thinkin' and a whole lot of drinkin'
I finally came to see the light
I moved out and you got a lawyer
I didn't have the energy to fight
It wasn't funny you got all my money
Can't even afford to live
But I got a clear mind
I came to my senses
I'm willing to forget but not forgive
Sooooo

Welcome to the new age of reason
Welcome to a brand new kind of life
I'll give my middle finger
To the wannabe gold diggers
Drink and smoke on the back porch
And try not to pull the trigger
In this brand new clear enlightened season
Welcome to the new age of reason

Now fast forward to couple years later
Where the story takes another turn
I got sucked in by a poor little gal
With a hard luck story of her own
It seems her man was a fine provider
An executive in rank
But it all went bad he got hooked on smack
Disappeared and robbed a bank

It was good for a couple of months
But slowly things started to change
I woke up with the gaslight blues
And my whole life was rearranged
She wanted to get married she was going through my phone
I started to get the clue
It wasn't his fault she drove him to it
Girl he robbed that bank to get away from you

So I got all my things while she was at work
Put it in the car and drove it home
Left her a letter in the front step telling her
"Babe I'm sorry but I'm gone-
You make my mind hazy I'm pretty sure you're crazy-
Maybe you should see my therapist-
If all else fails to cure what ails you
Maybe you should get an exorcist
Whoaaaa

Welcome to the new age of reason
Welcome to a brand new kind of life
I'll give my middle fingers
To the wannabe gold diggers
Drink and smoke on the back porch
And try not to pull the trigger
In this brand new clear enlightened season
Welcome to the new age of reason

You know you've got to laugh
Or life will kill you with the sadness
So try to find the joy in the madness

And welcome to the new age of reason
Welcome to a brand new kind of life
Don't throw those middle fingers
Or your problems will get bigger
Drink and smoke at your own risk
And please don't pull the trigger
'Cause you know I guarantee you won't get better
It's a temporary fix that lasts forever

Yeah welcome to the new age of reason
Welcome to a brand new kind of life
Don't give those middle fingers
Or your problems will get bigger
Drink and smoke at your own risk
And please don't pull the trigger
In this brand new clear enlightened season
Welcome to the new age of reason
