"better off bad"

listen it's fine we all used to be alive
we all had some story to tell
about the road and the rules of the world and so on
about how in some way all was well

listen I'm with you I know that I dive
into problems headfirst just like you do
but I have all this cultural context to go on
I guess that it's different for you

when you drive down the road in a car things get blurred
when you amble or leap things are crisper
the ways of the highway can be kind of cold
toward the life of the woods and its whisper

listen it's fine life was always absurd
if you read a shitton of Camus
I've known I would die since I was five years old
but I guess that it's different for you
