[Intro]

If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky...nipples!

[Verse 1]

Step off the front porch, let the day come forth

Unsure of how much, but you know you want more

And what you've been gettin' isn't really fittin'

With the images and visions that used to tease the kitten

Fast forward to the present

Waitin' tables in some restaurant for the rent

But the check can't stretch past next week's breadth

It's a prison with invisible walls and cheap cigarettes

God bless the populace, take the untaxed tips

Trade for the firewater, slip through the wax lips

Retreat into a pattern of defeat

With the wake, work, eat, sleep, die, and repeat

This, must, be the other half

Of what was discussed in one of them missed classes

Point it out, circle it, and hit it raw

So it's not misinterpreted

Let's try to keep it pretty broad

[Hook]

Let's try to keep it pretty broad

I gotta keep it pretty broad

Let's try to keep it pretty broad

I need to keep it pretty broad

[Verse 2]

Step out the front yard, always on guard

Thinkin' 'bout what year it was when it got hard

Take it back before the bar fights and cop cars

Take it back before the cocaine and rock stars

When the track fades, you cascade back to the mass grave

Of the overflowing ashtray

You fight love with a light buzz in a nightclub

Like you tryna figure out why your life sucks

Every day feels just like today does

Makeup to cover up the breakups and pay stubs

Your local pub has a happy hour special

Where your daddy power issues can be studied by professionals

It's difficult to listen

When poor decision making dictates your situation's position

Grow a backbone if you chose the path

And go hold your glass up and act like you know the half

[Hook]

Let's try to keep it pretty broad

I gotta keep it pretty broad

Let's try to keep it pretty broad

I need to keep it pretty broad

[Verse 3]

Stepped into traffic, it's the princess with the mask

The last aggressive pacifist

Wavin' a flag that she kept hidden 'cause the nametag is blank if it doesn't say "Victim"

Somebody save the martyr from her self-made spark to take apart her breaking heart

Either show it to the kids or get it away

Throw it off a bridge, let it live on a riverbank

And when it's found, I'ma make her my wife

Everything that I write somehow relates to her life

Every time she's around, my gut says to run

'Cause I can't shake my mind off the butt of her gun

And when she pulls out to aim

It makes me wish that the flower wasn't full-out insane

Dear God, don't let me get started on

Another pretty broad song about another pretty broad

[Hook]

Let's try to keep it pretty broad

I gotta keep it pretty broad

Let's try to keep it pretty broad

I need to keep it pretty broad

[Outro]

My girl goes crazy 'cause she knows how it hurts

(Let's try to keep it pretty broad)

Ask her to save me but go save yourself first

(I gotta keep it pretty broad)

Be so amazing if the chemical's works

(Let's try to keep it pretty broad)

Shows all the ladies that I found me a nurse

(I need to keep it pretty broad)

That girl goes crazy 'cause she knows how it burns

(Let's try to keep it pretty broad)

Ask her to save me but it made myself worse

(I gotta keep it pretty broad)

Be so amazing to abandon the search

(Let's try to keep it pretty broad)

Show all the babies how the world really turns

(I need to keep it pretty broad)
