Funny Dad

Fuck being a sad sack
I want to be really relaxed
Like a funny dad
Like your friend’s funny dad
Let’s get in character
I’ll get a flip-phone hip carrier
I want to seem relaxed
I want to be really relaxed
Just keep walking
Like you’re wearing some flip-flops
And Just keep talking
Like you’re not all alone
Just keep drinking
Like you don’t know when to stop
The world keeps spinning
On the uber ride home
Oldies radio and compact discs
I’m fixing shit because I know how to do it
I’ll quit making music
And I’ll play some golf
Because I’m frickin' sick of sounding so self involved
I’ll call a shrink and get all confidant
Or I’ll just tough it out
Like a fucking adult
In an ideal place I’d really feel okay
But sometimes
Playing the part is almost sort-of the same
Just keep walking
Like you’re wearing some flip-flops
And Just keep talking
Like you’re not all alone
Just keep drinking
Like you don’t know when to stop
And make conversation
On the uber ride home
I’m outside again
With alphabets of vitimins
And some exercise
I’m trying to like being alive
