Help me mama, for I have grinned
Save me daddy from where I'm goin'
Call out to me from the ages beyond
Help me remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
Help me granddaddy to see the swans
Strike me granny with your golden pump
Teach me now what I could never learn before
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
Teach me Great Uncle to hear the talk
Show me Aunt Avis with your ageless chalk
Scratch it out for me on my cloudy retina
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I know I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I know I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
Save me daddy from where I'm goin'
Call out to me from the ages beyond
Help me remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
Help me granddaddy to see the swans
Strike me granny with your golden pump
Teach me now what I could never learn before
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
Teach me Great Uncle to hear the talk
Show me Aunt Avis with your ageless chalk
Scratch it out for me on my cloudy retina
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I know I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I know I really shouldn't
How to remember how to be good
How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't

I just want to say yea I saw a music major play it was second semester Freshman year so I was accepted but the bar was freshman greek because of the ID standards.
And I took a piss and what someone wrote on the wall "Help me remember how to be good how to continue when I feel I really shouldn't". Like I said bama was heady. And it was headier before I got there. Yea fucking sucks here back to high school. I won't kill myself but I'll die trying.
Obviously pledgeship and someone was heady enough to know panic and they wrote it anonymously, drunk, listening to panic. That is cool. Stood out to me, someone who knew all panic at that point like the back of my hand. I would love to take a piss here and see that they know about panic or Phish or whatever. But it's just get your degree move on. Very sad.
Best part of that night getting home. I don't remember where that bar was but I went a few times. When I went there I had no idea how to get home. I think it was off a street parallel to Hackberry but I didn't know Tuscaloosa and the night I saw that quote when I drove home I thought please God let me get home because it was pre GPS. And I did somehow. I drove around and found a main road and I got back to my dorm. Good God that's something everyone should do. Everyone should experience and this is not it.
And lastly if I were the individual who was so motivated to write something anonymously, something they couldn't hold against him I would put the scratch it out for me on my cloudy retina part. That would be so much headier.
