Sowin' the seeds of discontentment
Spillin' milk all over your misspent youth
Nurture your crop with blind resentment
All your cryin' can't change the truth

The straight life, baby, has taken its toll

Your shit don't stink now that you're livin' the straight life
Lookin' so cute in that grown-up's suit
Chasin' down all your lost and wasted time
You don't care who the f*ck you screw

The straight life, baby, has taken its toll
Confiined your mind and stolen your soul

You reap just what you sow
If you reap anything at all
I let my wild weeds grow
I hope they choke your rotten crop

The straight life, baby, has taken its
toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
