Bitter Old Man - Live

I was born a bitter old man
 Who got his heart broken in Catalonia, 1936
 Things haven't felt right since
 I gave up on life before I arrived
 I knew this place wasn't safe for anyone
 But fascists and republicans and their apologists
 But I swear to god, I'm gonna die
 Full of naive optimism
 A teenager's heartbreaking conviction that
 Things can be different, oh, yeah
 Things are gonna be real different when we're finished 'round here
 I always wanted to die young
 I always wanted to die young
 I always wanted to die young
 Now I feel younger every day
 And I just hope I die younger than I am
 ♪
 I can hear you from a dozen states away
 Shiverin' through a dope sick morning of
 No money left and nothin' else to steal
 And Lord only knows that I've had my share
 'Cause, hell, there were years when I was ready to die
 But it's only been recently that I've been willing to live
 And I swear to god, I didn't plan
 For things to end up this way
 I had a teenager's conviction that
 I would be different, oh, yeah
 I was gonna be real different than the person I became
 I always wanted to die young
 I always wanted to die young
 I always wanted to die young
 Now I feel younger every day
 And I just hope I die younger than I am
 ♪
 But now living's a struggle
 Except when it isn't, yeah
 I woke up this morning and
 I wasn't in prison
 But I can't promise that I'm far from it
 I'd still kill a man for a cigarette
 But with friends like you, who needs homicide?
 So this song goes out to all our homies locked down
 Come on back now, we need you around
 That judge, he doesn't know what he's done
 Nah, judges never know the things they do
 How could they?
