I don't make songs for rich young white kids making fun of Leonard Cohen Going out on SNL to show the world all that they're knowing With their happy lives about to crumble, they're on the verge of knowing all They don't need me, and I don't want them after all I don't make songs for the mainstream, they never liked me anyway Even ones that get half crazy never gave me the time of day They don't get it If they don't understand, I couldn't explain it if I can I don't know how I ever got so fucking balls I make songs for the Chinese diving from the factory For the kids locked in the closets while Guardians away I make songs for the trans girl who can't afford the white kid in city school Black kid on honor roll, weird kid nobody wants, the old woman ready to take the plunge The witch with no friends, the woman with no men, slaves of every race Christian with no place, Muslim in the heartland, gay man with no men Straight guy trying hard to find anyone to care I make songs for mobsters lost, hardened, dying inside, prisoners in private Public, military, warehouse, jails, walls, and I pray that what I do can do some good in their lives There's about one chance in a billion that it helps, and that's all I'm good for, nothing else So when I get put on some playlist and the millions overnight, I just don't get it My friends are so much better than I, maybe they'll get there too Hell the money's even coming in now, I hope they get richer than I'll ever get So it's 8:43 on Christmas 2023, never thought I'd live past 17, I'm an old fucking man now Whose fire burns bright, it's burned all my insides up like a flare in the night, and I hate those fucking jackwads making light of Leonard Cohen, and I know they'll get theirs When they get to learn the things adults must know, and then they'll never make it as far As he or I did anyway, cause the artists of today don't have the fire, they're just fucking Lukewarm eye candy, that's all So Merry Christmas, to the blind and the lame and the poor and the pathetic and the lost To the world hates even more than me, I work for you and you alone, you damned hopeless Lot, I hope you find Jesus and lose the pain we've got
