lyrics
Every Day
Words and music by G. Hoskins
Well, the spirits moved his feet
To the music that they played
And they wouldn't let him hear it
And they wouldn't let him stray
From the path they set before him,
From the set list that they made
It would confuse him if he knew it,
They could use him more this way
And he said, "How...did I get this way?"
Well, the angels really loved him,
The devils loved him, too.
On a slow night he was lots of fun,
He wasn't Job but he would do
And they loved how he was empty,
And the shapes he'd bend in to
And how beautifully his heart ached,
And he could do it all on cue.
He’d say, "Whoa, how...did I get this way?
When every day, every day, every day,
I chose to stay.”
He had his head shoved so far up his ass
He could see his heart beat
A pile of laundry in the basement so high that he
Needed a Sherpa guide just to look at it
It's the discipline of housework,
The paying of the bills
The taxi-ing of children
And all the things that kill,
And he said "How...did I get this way?
When every day, every day, every day...
I chose to stay."
