Everyone's Honest

A couple of months ago

I was out drinking with an old friend of mine

What did he say to me

He said he’d like to curse his ex girlfriend just one time

And that everyone’s honest eventually

A bunch of years ago I got taken

By someone who said that shed get me stuff for free

Lots of talk, sweet molasses backstage passes

But everyone’s honest eventually

Summers gone again

Watch the leaves in tonkin square

Just cause nothing equals nothing

Doesn’t mean everything is fair

I knew a guy who was trying hard to never lie

He knew the bible a-to-z

He prayed before bed at night

And thought that he was living right

But everyone’s honest eventually

A friend of mine in Brooklyn was doing heroin

And then he told me that he’d gone clean

It’s all the same to me

What you do with your body

Everyone’s honest eventually

Fall is here again

Watch the leaves in tonkin square

Better put your mittens on

I hear its getting cold out there

I try to live my life just like I’d always pictured it

Become my own self-fulfilling prophecy

Set my sights low so I don’t feel like I have far to go

But everyone’s honest eventually

I had a girl who screwed around with someone else

She let me know almost immediately

And as soon as I found out

I treated her like a broken toy and threw her out

That’s what she got for being honest

Winters here again

No more leaves in Tonkin Square

Old men walk in circles

They can't find me anywhere

Sometimes when I meet new people

I try too hard to be friendly

Sometimes I try too hard to be cool

They say its horrible to be living a lie

But I’ve also heard it said that nothing is true

Winter never came

Ain’t no more old men in Tonkin Square

They say its horrible to live a lie

Then they say that nothing is true

What can you do if nothing is true?

Just between me and you

You’re better off not thinking it through

Not thinking it through
