Stages

lyrics

I hope you enjoyed what you had
I hope you enjoyed what you had
Because it's never coming back

You should have took advantage last year
You should have took advantage last year
Instead you stood outside with a sneer


Life runs in stages
And this one's in an empty auditorium
Putting dogs in cages
When you should be loving and enjoying them
Better check the gauges
You may have overestimated time
Life runs in stages
And this one's in an empty auditorium

The purpose of life is to be happy
The purpose of life is to be happy
Said some stupid billboard on the highway

They say that life begins at conception
But they never mention that it
Ends on the wrong end of an open carry weapon
