Here's To Life - Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution

How did Camus really die that night?

Were they right?

When he died was it

really his time, or was it suicide?

And Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine.

We go drinking from time to time,

and I find it gets harder every time.

Three went down (But only two of them come up again)

The minimal is criminal but less is a sin

Though three went down (But only two of them come up again)

I’m not going to play if there ain’t no way I’ll win

Hemingway never seemed to mind the banality of a normal life,

and I find it gets harder every time.

So he aimed the shotgun into the blue, placed his face in between the two,

and sighed: Here’s to Life!

Three went down (But only two of them come up again)

The minimal is criminal but less is a sin

Though three went down (But only two of them come up again)

I’m not going to play if there ain’t no way I’ll win

Hey there Salinger, what did you do?

Just when the world was looking to you to

write anything that meant anything, you told us you were through.

And it’s been years since you passed away, but I see no plaque,

and I see no grave and I can’t help believing that you wanted it that way.

And Vincent Van Gogh, why do you weep?

You were on your way to heaven but the

road was steep.

And who was there to break your fall?

We’re guilty, one and all.

And I don’t know much, but I do know this: with a golden heart comes a rebel

fist and every single soldier wasn’t fired, some have quit.

And it makes me sick when I think of it: all my heroes could not live with this

and I hope you rest in peace because with us you never did.

And K.D.

C, you were much too young and you changed my life but I draw the line at

suicide, so here’s to life!
