Eating snow flakes with plastic forks
And a paper plate of course
You think of everything
Short love with a long divorce
And a couple of kids of course
They don't mean anything
Live in trailers with no class
Goddamn I hope I can pass
High school means nothing
Taking heartache with hard work
Goddamn I am such a jerk
I can't do anything
And I shout that you're all fakes
And you should have seen the look on your face
And I guess that's what it takes
When comparing your bellyaches
And it's been a long time
Which agrees with this watch of mine
And I guess that I miss you
And I'm sorry if I dissed you
I'm sorry if I screwed you up

And you spend your whole life looking for the adult that you are
then you spend the rest your life looking for, looking for the child that you were

    General Comment:The aristocracy would still play a significant role in the sponsorship of musical life, but it was now possible for composers to survive without being its permanent employees. The increasing popularity led to a growth in both the number and range of the orchestras. Thanks for sharing.

    General Comment:Okay, that Youtube version was better than I expected. I like that he included the extended lyrics:

    'And you spend your whole life looking for the adult that you are
    then you spend the rest your life looking for, looking for the child that you were'

    'I'm sorry if I screwed you up'

    General Comment:You forgot the background part:
    "Everything that keeps us together is falling apart,
    I've got this thing that I consider my only art
    Of fucking people over."

    I think Kevin? is singing it in the background toward the end. It's from another Modest Mouse song, called 3rd Planet.
