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
