Lyrics for I Mean It This Time

Jody were you always sure things had gone as they should go? Does the world come on with a handshake and hello? I don't lose a lot of sleep, and I'm not sure what this means But at some point I stopped remembering last night's dreams And there's a lot to throw away As in Soviet Russia failing to watch the things you say Give me all the gin I need 'cause I may not feel this strong When I phone my parents and tell them they've been wrong Please don't ask what will I do I can't live it this way, Jody I think I'm not like you I've seen enough to find no news to change my mind And I'll drop out, I mean it this time Am I standing on my rights to demand to be so free? Is it common knowledge the joke will be on me? Cars won't stop for me, I know, when the light for them is green They'll ask questions later about what light I thought I'd seen Is it right to feel so used? I once planned ahead longer than when the rent was due I've seen enough to find no news to change my mind
